Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the bow, head, trail-board and figurehead for Kent (1798), a 74-gun Third Rate, two-decker. The plan relates to the Large Repair, including a circular stern, that the ship underwent at Plymouth Dockyard between 1817 and 1820.

The colour-washed full-length figurehead is of a bearded longbow-man wearing a blue tunic with a long ‘pteruges’ (skirt of leather or fabric strips) over his tunic to protect his upper legs. He holds an arrow in his right hand and a longbow in his left. A long cloak goes from his shoulders to the back of his right foot.

The plan is initialled and approved by Henry Peake [Surveyor of the Navy, 1806-1822].

The reverse of the plan states: ‘Navy Boards warrant for the Kent’s Standing Figure} 17th Nov’r 1819’.
