Boat stowage question

[AllanKP69]

Boat stowage varied a lot over time in the age of sail. The following drawing from RMG for Agamemnon and sisters (ZAZ1282 on their collections website) has a hand written note which is hard to see so I typed it for easier reading. I know what chocks are but I am curious as to their shape, size and mostly location for this case. I always thought of them being secured to the skid beams, but the wording on this drawing makes me wonder. This was a first for me so any information based on contemporary sources would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

From The American College Dictionary 1966 edition:
Most general definition: "1. a block of wood, etc. for filling in a space, esp. for preventing movement, as of a wheel or a cask."

More specifically: "2.b. Naut. a shaped standard on which a boat, barrel, or other object rests.

Photo shows a modern version. Fair winds!

Thank you very much Andy but I am looking for contemporary 18th century information for Agamemnon and similar era vessels regarding where the chocks were placed, be it on the skids, gallows, QD or FC.

Thanks again. ( I wish I had a yacht that was big enough to have chocks for a tender )

Cheers

Allan

Hi Alan, I don’t know if this will help, but I’m also building a third-rate hms vanguard the ship’s boats are as. Hopefully this will help

Thanks Andy,
I really appreciate you going to the trouble to post the drawings but I am looking for contemporary information. The plans they provided for the chocks may be accurate but based on contemporary boat drawings, there are too many things that are questionable or missing on their boat drawing to feel comfortable with other things.

Thanks again!
