Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plan with stern board, sheer lines with modified gunports, and longitudinal half-breadth for building 10-gun brigs at Portsmouth Dockyard. Those from the Cadmus/Cherokee/Rolla class ordered in 1823 were Leveret (1825), Musquito (1825), Myrtle (1825), Rapid (1829) and Recruit (1829). The plan also includes retrospective names of other ships from this class ordered in 1817, 1818 and 1820-21 that were built at Portsmouth.

Note that the plan is badly water damaged so has been over-traced with pencil or some inked detail has been lost.
