Surprize (1774)?, Carysfort (1766)
Scale 1:48. Plan showing the body plan with stern board outline, sheer lines, with some framing detail and longitudinal half breadth for a proposed 120ft, 28-gun, Sixth Rate Frigate, and for Carysfort (1766), as proposed, showing the best sailing draught of water. It is possible Surprize (1774) is the proposed Frigate but there is no actual evidence.
