I have this drawing of the keel and false keel dimensions that state the dimensions modified in 1813. What I need to know is what was the dimension of the keel and false keel of East Indiaman and French warships built between 1700-1750? Regards

Due to the fact, that the dimensions are usually related to the size of the ship, you should also define the class or rate of the ship, so it would be easier to compare and give an information......
 
Thanks Uwe, I knew there was something I left out. 40 gun class! If what I am looking at is correct, I estimate 15x11 keel but no idea of false keel. I also sent you a conversation message concerning frames.
