Scale: 1:48. Plan showing a sketch of the figurehead for Cambridge (1755), an 80-gun Third Rate, two-decker. The figurehead may relate to one of the Cambridge’s later periodic repairs and refits at Plymouth Dockyard from 1762 to the end of its life in 1808, when the Dickerson family had access to the original carving by Thomas Burrows of Deptford and sketched it.

The figurehead is a full-size carving consisting of a bust, representing the Duke of Cambridge (although the actual figurehead was of the King surmounted by a laurel wreath), at the top of the figurehead. He is supported on the starboard side by King Neptune riding a seahorse (hippocampus) and holding a trident. The bust is surrounded by foliage with a small putti looking out to the side behind his head. The trail-board has abstract sea monsters along its length. A detailed description of the figurehead can be found in the Accountant General's ledger for 1755 [TNA, ADM 20/220?]

On the left of the figurehead drawing is a faint pencil sketch of an unidentified full-length figure.
