Zebra (1777); Thorn (1779); Delight (1778)

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plan with stern board decoration, sheer lines with inboard detail and figurehead, and longitudinal half-breadth for Zebra (1777), a 14-gun Ship Sloop, as built at Ipswich by Mr Barnard. The plan was later proposed and approved in October 1777 for building Thorn (1777) and Delight (1778).

Ariel (1781) and Bulldog (1782) mentioned on the reverse of the plan are from a different class and are listed because of confusion with this plan relating to Zebra (1780), which it does not.
