Great [Britain? - writing is illegible] (no date)
Scale 1:48. A plan showing the body with sternboard, sheer lines with inboard detail and longitudinal half-breadth of the Great [Britain? - writing is illegible] (no date), a three-masted merchant ship of 394 tons burden.
The plan gives an updated tonnage of 432, suggesting that this plan may date from the early 1830s, when the method of calculating tonnage was changed.
Modifications drawn in green ink show substantial modifications made to the ship, including lengthening of the hull at the bow and stern, the raising of the freeboard, and the construction of a new upper deck above the original one.
