sheer & profile

Sheer draught of HMS 'Indefatigable' dated to 1794 to show the proposal for cutting the the 64-gun Third Rate down to a frigate. In this process, the ship was 'razeed', and her upper deck was removed and she was reduced to an armament of 44 guns. On this plan, the ticked line represents the upper deck which was to be removed, and the solid lines represent her new design, internal fittings, are shown in red.
