Darius359au Posted July 22, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2023 I'm looking at building the Corel HMS Victory Cross section and there's one rather obvious omission is the pump well/shot locker - can anyone point me to plans or information with the dimensions ? , my googlefu's failed me so any help would be appreciated. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted July 23, 2023 Share #2 Posted July 23, 2023 Hi Darious Have you looked at the contemporary inboard profile and orlop deck plans of Victory on the RMG Collections site? Each drawing has a scale so you can get a measurement then adjust for whatever scale your model is. https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-79912 and https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-79914 These are low resolution so it may be a little difficult, but they are free. If you are going into that kind of detail you may want to consider purchasing the high res plans from RMG. These are from when Victory was launched in 1765 so there may be differences, but you can also get the well and shot locker dimensions for first rates in Scantlings of Royal Navy Ships on pages 117 and 118. These dimensions are taken from The Shipbuilder's Repository 1788 and Steel's The Elements and Practice of Naval Architecture, 1805.

Allanyed thanks, I had found the 1st plan but not the second one , I probably should get the scantling book to add to the library. Druxey I completely forgot i've got anatomy of nelsons ships on kindle , cross section plan was staring me in the face... mtaylor, allanyed and druxey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kindle version of this turned out to be a waste , there are no images of the plans except for 1 cross section! I've managed to get a copy of it through an antiquarian bookseller here in Australia at a reasonable price compared to what was being asked online when I went looking for a copy. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
