The 24-gun frigate Pandora / John McKay & Ron Coleman.

The Pandora was a 24-gun Sixth Rate built at Deptford in 1779, best known for her voyage to Tahiti to bring back the mutineers of the Bounty. She was wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef on her return journey in 1791. The wreck was discovered in 1977. This book outlines the design and building of the ship, her career and aspects of the excavation of the wreck site. There are photographs of a model of the ship and relics from the excavation. There are more than 300 drawings covering every detail of the ship. Admiralty draughts held by the National Maritime Museum Greenwich form the basis of the hull drawings. The book jacket shows the Pandora's colour scheme and decoration. This is a revised edition of the 1992 book and includes a 1/128 scale fold out plan with keys to rigging drawings.
