Scale: 1:48. A plan showing head, trail-board and proposed figurehead for Tartu, later Uranie (captured 1797), a captured French 38-gun Fifth Rate frigate. While the ship was registered as Tartu (Tortue) in April 1797, the plan still uses the French name. The frigate was renamed Uranie in November 1798, just over a month after this was drawn. The ship was fitted at Plymouth between July 1798 and April 1799.

The proposed colour-washed figurehead (No.1) is a pre-1800 Union flag within a yellow rope boarder, supported on a thick branch of stylised foliage from the top of the trail-board lower cheek. Behind the shield is a thin branch of oak leaves and acorns. An eagle with wings spread sits on top of the shield. A note in red ink states ‘Approved with the alteration below’.

The alteration sketch in black ink effectively simplifies the foliage to a scroll and removes the eagle from the top of the shield. The plan has been cut on the right removing design No. 2, which is DIC0003.
