Humber (1726); Unnamed 66-gun third Rate, two-decker

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plan with sternboard outline, inboard profile, and an incomplete longitudinal half-breadth for Humber (1736), an 80-gun Third Rate, three-decker. She was renamed Princess Amelia on 26 July 1727. The plan also illustrates the Princess Amelia when she was cut down (razeed) to a 66-gun Third Rate, two-decker in 1747-8 per Admiralty Order dated 19 May 1747.

Reverse: Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plan, sheer lines, and longitudinal half-breadth for an unnamed 66-gun Third Rate, two-decker. The plan is annotated 'Finished Christmas Eve 1741', but it does not state where or who drew it. The circular mouldings on the quarterdeck gunports suggests the influence of an earlier period.
