Unnamed 84ft two-masted armed merchant ship (no date)

Scale: 1:48. A plan showing the after body plan with stern board, sheer lines with inboard detail and figurehead, and longitudinal half-breadth with deck detail for an unnamed 84ft two-masted armed merchant ship (no date). The pencil annotation suggests that she may have been a privateer in 1790, however, this is uncorroborated. Note the 'V' shaped hull and the additional gunports in dotted lines below the quarterdeck. The figurehead possibly represents Orpheus.
