Melpomene (captured 1794)

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plan with stern board decoration and name in a cartouche on the counter, the sheer lines with inboard detail and figurehead, and longitudinal half-breadth for Melpomene (captured 1794), a captured French Frigate, as taken off at Chatham Dockyard having been fitted as a 38-gun Fifth Rate Frigate. Note that the plan shows her with a fairly typical French layout of wheel abaft the mizzen and a single set of anchor bitts on the upper deck.
