Drake

Scale 1:32. A drawing of a proposed yacht entitled: 'A Draft Designed by Mr Benjm. Slade for the Drake Yatch'. Showing sheer lines with inboard profile, body plan, and longitudinal half-breadth, with dimensions. Benjamin Slade was Master Shipwright at Plymouth in 1746-50, so this is possibly a replacement for the Royal yacht Drake (1727).
