20-gun Privateer, Architectura Navalis Mercatoria Plate XXXVI

 

lcncaMI.jpg

 

(slightly edited by yours truely)

 

 

Dimensions (imperial)

 

length P/P:                            116' 7''

breadth:                                  30' 7''

draught aft:                             14' 3''

 

length-to-breadth ratio:            3,8

 

 

Armament:

 

20 6-pounders

32 3-pounders

2 4-pounder bow chasers

 

Crew:

 

220

 

 

Probably my favourite plan in the ANM, because this is exactly the type of vessel I like the most, small, fast and packs quite a punch. And it shows very innovative features for the time the draught was made (early 1760s) like a flush deck and the diagonal bracing.

Its looks like a good privateer

 

 

Well, you find the plan for this ship in the 'Privateer' chapter of the Architectura Navalis :P

 

As a bonus, it has one hell of a nice hull shape:

Don´t mind the square bow, I was just curious how the plan would look like in 3D, so this just a quick and dirty model I made yesterday.

 

Theoretically, the 32 3-pounders could be omitted and the 20 6-pounders could be upgraded to 8-pounders (with 1430 pounds to spare). Now that would be a nice and powerfull privateer.

20 9 pounders sounds great especially with bow chasers. I'd throw a recommendation on it in next years voting just because I love baby frigates. ;)

 

Though I do wonder if it will be speedy enough and not rather sluggish like the snow.

I'd like to know if anyone has managed to find blueprints for either Rikskronan (Kronan II) or Konung Karl. Those are two big ships that I would really enjoy seeing in-game, although I haven't found any real "blueprints". Only pictures.

all right.

after months of work, a metric arse ton of work into my first ever 99% ready model here she is:

please ignore the glitch in her stern gallery as well as on her stern gunports.

Those come from the upload page.

 

99... where is the 1%? the helm is missing. And maybe I make a rudementary stove. who knows..

 

edit: apparently each gunport of the upper gundeck is glitched.

The screen is pitch black and flashes a purple silhouette of the ship when I change the view around. o.o

What browser did you use? on Firefox i had your issue however on chrome it is perfectly fine, and i really like the model bungee, looks nice :D

Never noticed the three points on Chapman´s late work. The bottom point is B/Center of Buoyancy, the other two points should be the metacenters for different load waterlines (cf. Plate XXI, Fig. 5, ANM)

Are you sure? Why would the middle point be a different size if it was just another metacenter?

 

That book on Chapman that you recommended has the answer to this question, but I returned it to the library.

 

If both upper dots are metacenters, isn't it more likely that they are for different angles of heel? The difference between them seems extreme.

Hang on a minute, because I thought I understood the whole metacentre concept.

 

When you aren't heeling, there is no metacentre at all because there is no righting arm. So when Chapman rights that a privateer should have a metacentric height of 6 feet, he must be envisioning a specific angle of heel. How do we know what that angle is on his plans?

That´s the stuff that´s in his Treatise. All metacenter calculations are for a 3° heel, if I remember correctly.

Huh. That information doesn't seem like it would be very relevant from a stability standpoint. Maybe for gunnery.

Wait a minute, I see my mistake.

 

I was inclining vessels in my head and convinced myself that the metacenter would be different at various heel angles. But it isn't.

Mental geometry is hard.
