Utile (captured 1799)

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the upper deck for Utile (captured 1799), a captured French brig, as taken off at Portsmouth Dockyard, before being fitted as an 18-gun brig sloop.

Date: NMM, Progress Book, volume 5, folio 788, states that the 'Utile' arrived at Portsmouth Dockyard on 11 April 1799 and had her copper repaired between 12-16 August 1799. It is likely therefore that this is an 'as taken off' plan.
