Ganges (1782); Culloden (1783)
Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the inboard profile for 'Ganges' (1782) and 'Culloden' (1783), both 74-gun Third Rate, two-deckers, built at Rotherhithe by Messrs Randall, Grey and Brent (Randall & Co). The plan states that they were similar to the 'Tremendous' (1784), but she was lengthened during her build unlike these two.
Signed by Edward Hunt [Surveyor of the Navy, 1788-1884].
There is also a wash drawing of the 'Culloden' in the collection by Dominic Serres, about 1785 (PAF5783): in the manner of William van de Velde the Elder, a century earlier, he shows the ship afloat from off her starboard quarter, with her lower masts in but otherwise unrigged.
