allanyed Posted August 11, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) There are contemporary deck plans, and there are contemporary deck plans. I spotted the incredibly detailed drawings of all decks of a 60 gun British ship circa 1745 in Caruana's volume II of English Sea Ordinance of all places where he credited RMG as the source. I went to the RMG collections and found the drawing there so it is available in low resolution for free, but I am thinking I may have to go for a high res copy for future use. It is not often that I have seen deck plans with such detail. While it is specific to a fourth rate and based on the 1745 Establishment, I am sure it will be at least partially useful in many respects for other vessels and eras including a good bit of the 1719 Establishment. https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/81698.html Allan Edited August 11, 2021 by allanyed wefalck, bruce d and mtaylor 3 Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.
