Georgian Navy in the Beakhead Bulkhead Era - a survey of plans

[DAWarden-(Jaager)]

This will be a review of some of the plans 1719-1776 with a focus on their being used for scratch POF.

This survey is intended to explore and celebrate the naval architecture aspect. Any historical significance is incidental.

The quality and suitability of the designs is also incidental.
