Ganges (1821)

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the upper deck for Ganges (1821), an 84-gun Second Rate, two-decker, as fitting in 1830 when a Guardship at Portsmouth. The plan has later been stamped and dated Chatham Dockyard, 18 December 1907 reflecting the fact that this vessel became part of the Boy Artificers Establishment at Chatham in 1906-7 and was renamed HMS Tenedos III.
