"British galleon" model "C" possibly about William Adams

[alphaminor]

I just picked up this model "C" because of how colorful the cell is




It features what I'm pretty sure is a British galleon and after a little research I think it is themed after William Adams aka the inspiration for the book and movie Shogun ( he's the first British sailor to arrive in Japan that later became a Samurai )
It's a very interesting story

Here's a link to a brief history

A Brief History of William Adams

In the story it says
"In 1604, Ieyasu ordered Adams to build a western-style sailing ship at Ito, on the east coast of Izu Peninsula. An 80-ton vessel was completed and the Shogun ordered a larger ship, 120 tons, to be built the following year"

I think this might be related to this machines theme ( or perhaps it's about his arrival since it's flying the British flag)
