The vessel features ornate stern detailing, visible gun ports, and realistic wave patterns beneath the hull, while smoke trailing from the stern suggests auxiliary steam power-a hybrid design common in mid-19th century navies. The meticulous rendering highlights historical accuracy in rigging, mast structure, and deck layout.
