Teaser (1794)

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the inboard profile, upper deck with fore platform, aft platform, forecastle, and sections for Teaser (1794), a 14-gun Gunboat building at Deptford by Dudman & Co. The plan has an altered forecastle deck which appears to have been removed and replaced with an inclined deck. This would have been appropriate for mounting two long-guns in the bows.

The plan is not for Borer (1794), as stated by the Admiralty stamp, because she was built at Rotherhithe by Messrs Randall & Co.

Signed by John Henslow [Surveyor of the Navy, 1784-1806].

Note: The Admiralty stamp says the plan is for Borer (1794), but according to D. Lyon she was actually built by Randell at Rotherhithe [The Sailing Navy List, p.149].
