Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the port (larboard) and starboard inboard (red) and outboard (black) planking expansion for Hawk (1793), a 16-gun ship sloop with a quarterdeck and forecastle. The plan illustrates the different wood experiments and which planks were rotten. This was drawn as the ship was being taken apart for possible repair but ultimately for breaking up and disposal.

The key includes: timbers marked with a circle were stripped standing (i.e. before felling) for an experiment; timbers marked with a square were grown in the same soil but felled in the usual way; timbers marked with triangles were taken 'promiscuously' (i.e. at random) from the yard. Those marked 'R' were rotten timbers.
