I showed already in several locations here in our forum the very interesting web-page of the Royal Museums Greenwich or the National Maritim Museum
Here you can see the web-page with a research for the HMS Africa, launched in 1761 - Here contemporary drawings and plans, but also artefacts, paintings etc. are shown
Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plans, sheer lines, and longitudinal half-breadth for 'Africa' (1761), 'Asia' (1764), 'Essex' (1760), all 64-gun Third Rate, two-deckers. Note alterations made to the quarterdeck.
Now you can find also 3.580 drawings listed at wikipedia, maybe some of you can find here a wanted drawing easier - or you click through......
in Collections of the Royal Museums Greenwich
