Princess Charlotte (captured 1799)

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plans with stern board outline and some detail, sheer lines with inboard details and figurehead, and longitudinal half-breadth for Princess Charlotte (captured 1799), a captured French Frigate, after being fitted for a 38-gun Fifth Rate, Frigate.

The plan includes an annotation dated October 1817 relating to the ship (renamed Andromache in 1812) when she was fitted for service in Brazil under the command of Captain Shirriff [William Henry Shirreff, seniority: 15 November 1809]. The quarterdeck coamings were ordered to be raised and fitted with glass sashes as the ship was being ordered to 'a warm climate'.
