Some very poor descriptive work here - most unusual for this library! The description 'sailing ship' is presumably based on a cursory glance at the shadows on the man's chest. But any look at the actual model the bird is sitting on will show it is a then-modern major warship - with a clear German ensign flying from atop the foremast. At a guess it might be a model of the Deutschland-class cruiser Admiral Graf Spee which was scuttled at Montevideo the previous year after the Battle of the River Plate.
