'Invincible' (1808); 'Chatham' (1812)

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the longitudinal half-breadths and profiles for the orlop deck and forward part of the lower deck for 'Invincible' (1808), a 74-gun Third Rate, two-decker. The plan illustrates the method of securing the beams to the sides in lieu of wooden knees as proposed by Henry Peake. An Admiralty Order dated 8 June 1811 states that the 'Chatham' (1812), also building at Woolwich Dockyard, is also to conform to this plan.

Signed by William Rule [Surveyor of the Navy, 1793-1813] and Henry Peake [Surveyor of the Navy, 1806-1822].
