41ft Mooring Lighter (1757)

Scale: 1:48. A plan showing the body plan, basic profile with some inboard detail, and basic longitudinal half-breadth for a proposed single-masted 41ft Mooring Lighter for Portsmouth Dockyard. There is some dispute as to whether this plan is dated 1736 or 1756. However, style comparisons with plans from 1756 seems to make this date more likely.
