Inspector (1782)
Scale: not shown. Plan showing the framing sections for Stations 20, 19, 17, 15, 13, 11, 9, 7, 5, and 3 for the Inspector (1782), a 16-gun Ship Sloop.
The plan illustrates well her experimental nature, including the unusual fin-like bulges projecting from the deadwood. It is assumed that this was to improve the hydrodynamic flows and reduce water resistance.
