Ajax (1798); Kent (1798)
Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plan with stern frames, sheer lines with scroll figurehead, and longitudinal half-breadth for Ajax (1798) and Kent (1798), both 74-gun Third Rate, two-deckers. The plan illustrates the ships as they were originally designed based on the Triumph (1764), and with the later addition of 11ft per Admiralty Order dated 19 October 1796. An additional piece of paper was inserted into the plan in order to keep the draught to scale. The plan also includes the alteration to the Kent when she underwent a Large Repair at Plymouth Dockyard in 1817-1820 and was rebuilt with a circular stern.
