Frisian captain's cabinet in Nussbaum from the period around 1700. In the whaling time of the 16th to 19th Century, the Frisian seafarers drove up to Spitzbergen on Walfang in the Arts. They often drove to Holland with their relatively small ships, where they hired with larger whaling fleets. The fishing was mostly operated in the surrounding area. On the return journey they brought coveted stinging objects, the best -known souvenirs are probably the blue, manganese and polychrome. Properted in such a way that the ships had a good center focus and were well in the water at Seegang, they also brought wall clocks and larger stand clocks to the islands. This cabinet could either be a souvenir of the whaling or they made it themselves in winter. The souls of the deceased captains will know. Front with writing flap behind it push boxes.
