Ganges (1821)

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the quarterdeck and forecastle for Ganges (1821), an 84-gun Second Rate, two-decker, as fitted in 1830 when a Guardship at Portsmouth. The plan has later been stamped and dated Chatham Dockyard, 18 December 1907 reflecting the fact that this vessel became part of the Boy Artificers Establishment at Chatham in 1906-07 and was renamed HMS Tenedos III.

Signed by John Nolloth [Master Shipwright, Portsmouth Dockyard, 1823-1835].

NMM, Progress Book, volume 6, folio 92, states that 'Ganges' arrived at Portsmouth Dockyard on 26 August 1829 and was docked on 24 September 1829 to have her copper replaced. She was undocked on 13 November 1829 and sailed on 18 Feburary 1831 having had defects rectified and having been fitted as a Guardship. Volume 10, folio 308 states that Ganges was moved in November 1899 to Chatham Dockyard for 'manning purposes.' There are no further details after 1906.
