Proposed 116ft, 24-gun Sixth Rate

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing thebody plan, stern board outline with some detail, sheer lines, and longitudinal half-breadth for a proposed 116ft three-masted 24-gun Sixth Rate. The gun ports on the lower deck are similar to those from the 1745 Establishment 24-gun Sixth Rates but the length was not reached until the Boston (1748) which was 119ft long, or the Lyme (1748) and Unicorn (1747) at 117ft.
