Scale: 1:48. A plan showing the stern board designs for Hercule (captured 1798), a captured French 74-gun Third Rate, as fitting out at Plymouth Dockyard between April and November 1801.

The colour-washed stern board taffrail includes the Royal Coat of Arms in a shield surrounded by foliage, below which, in the cove, are the initials ‘G R’. The name has been written in the counter, but not in the font style that would have been painted on the ship. The quarter pieces are stylised decoration mirrored on each side.

The plan also includes the stern board designs for Donegal (captured 1798), a captured French 74-gun Third Rate, as fitting out at Plymouth Dockyard between April and August 1801.

The colour-washed stern board taffrail includes the thistle, red rose and shamrock emblems of Scotland, England and Ireland in a roundel. Furled banners are on either side of this badge and branches of oak leaves with acorns spread along the taffrail. The quarter pieces are dolphins whose tails merge into foliage. The name has been written in the counter, but not in the font style that would have been painted on the ship.
