Unnamed 24-gun three-masted ship. Plan named 'Dolphins Prize'

No scale. A plan showing the body plan with stern board detail, sheer lines (no waterlines) with inboard detail and figurehead for a 118ft, 24-gun three-masted ship.

This ship is not the 'Dolphin's Prize' of 1757, although the plan does show the ship may have been French in origin with the shape of the tumblehome, the single set of bits, and the absence of an orlop deck.

The provenance of the pencil name 'Dolphin's Prize' is unknown.
