There's so many now on the market in all sizes and power levels compared to a few years ago.

allanyed Posted March 27 Share #5 Posted March 27 (edited) Fraser There is a drawing of Centurion 1732 that was made in 1729 in the RMG Collections which shows the body plan that you can use to draw her frames (or bulkheads if you want to build plank on bulkhead rather than plank on frame.) It also has an inboard profile showing her inner works. It is low resolution but can be purchased in high resolution as a paper plan or digital. It can then be redrawn with CAD so you can use it for laser cutting for some parts. She was built to the 1719 Establishment so there are scantlings of all her parts which can be found in several books, including Scantlings of Royal Navy Ships. The 1719 Establishment can also be found in the appendices in Peter Goodwin's The Construction and Fitting of the English Man of War. There are a number of drawings of additional 60 gun ships built to the 1719 Establishment and 1745 Establishment in the RMG Collections.

uss frolick Posted March 29 Share #6 Posted March 29 Brian Lavery redrew a simplified model plan "profile" for the Centurion in Volume 1 of his The Ship of the Line series from the 1980's. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaager Posted March 29 Share #7 Posted March 29 Centurion was a "modified" 1719 Establishment 60 gun. The "modification" was to increase the breadth by 1 foot. The NMM has the original Allin design for sale as a print 1:48 ZAZ1688 - it is pretty beat up. There is also a redrawn plan by I think Fredrik Henrik af Chapman the first naval architect that is cleaner and has more detail (stern) ZAZ 1689 also a print 1:48 allanyed and mtaylor 2 Quote NRG member 45 years Current: HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

allanyed Posted March 29 Share #9 Posted March 29 (edited) There are all the deck plans for a 60 but it is a 1745 Establishment plan rather than 1719. ZAZ1907 at RMG Still it may be useful if coupled with the 1719 Establishment scantlings. It actually shows carlings and ledges, lodging and hanging knees as well as the beams which are not commonly shown. https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-81698 Allan Edited March 30 by allanyed mtaylor 1 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.
