Specifications for Rochester (ord. 1833), Devon (ord. 1833) and Lively (ord. 1837)

7 page specifications for building three saling lighters: Rochester (ord. 1833) in Chatham Dockyard, Devon (ord. 1833) in Plymouth Dockyard, and Lively (ex-Portsea) (ord. 1837) in Portsmouth Dockyard.
Specifications slightly altered in red ink for Lively, as the date. Portsea is originally mentionned in black ink but cross written in red ink to be replaced by Lively.
A loose page is inserted, giving alterations to be done on Devon, after Rochester. They appear to have actually been done on Lively, as shown in red ink.
Dated 25 March 1833 (black ink) and 6 October 1837 (red ink). Unsigned.
