Lively (purchased 1779)

Scale: 1:32. Plan showing the body plan with stern board outline, inboard profile with only one waterline and a scroll figurehead, and longitudinal half-breadth for Lively (1779), a purchased 12-gun Brig Sloop built at Dover by Mr King. Note that the plan described the ship as a 'brigantine'. The plan's scale suggests this is from Mr King, as previous plans from him have been to this scale, which is not the Admiralty standard of 1:48 (1/4 inch to the foot).
