'Arethusa' (1781)

+ -

Scale: 1:48. A ship plan showing the body plan, and incomplete inboard detail for 'Arethusa' (1781), a 38-gun Fifth Rate Frigate. Note that the plan is unnamed and undated, but the hull dimensions and number of guns matches that of the 'Arethusa' class (1778), of which 'Arethusa' was built by Hilhouse at Bristol. However, there are differences with the layout of gunports - see ZAZ3155 for the plan sent to Hilhouse by the Navy Board.
