Unnamed 103ft, 34-gun Fifth Rate

Scale 1:48. A plan showing the sternboard, after body, sheer lines with outboard detail above the waterline, fore body, longitudinal half-breadth and gun deck beams of an unnamed 103ft, 34-gun Fifth Rate. An accompanying table contains a key guide to the various component parts of the illustrated ship. The plan was draughted by William Keltridge.

The Keltridge Draughts all carry a very high level of detail, paticularly in relation to the exterior fittings and decoration of the ships depicted. This plan is executed in the same general style, but there are also some notable differences. The ports are illustrated with guns run out, a feature not seen in the other hull lines draughts. The illustration of the profile is a combination of a side elevation with a three-quarter starboard bow perspective (note the lanterns at the stern and the angle at which the frame lines are drawn in green ink). The detail of under-plank framing on the gun deck is also a feature not seen on the other draughts.
