wafflez1g Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I've been digging a bit and i have found some blueprints of the HMS Prince 98-gun second rate ship of the line that was launched on 4th of July 1788. It is a very pretty ship and it is a 2nd rate which we only have 1 of so far. Here are some plans: Orlop plan: Lower gundeck plan: Middle gundeck plan: Upper gundeck plan: Quarterdeck and forecastle plan: Inboard profile plan: Sheer plan and lines: Model: Now, I am not a historian or anything, but this seems like a cool ship and I haven't seen it with its plans in this forum.(might be that I missed it) Armament: 98 guns: Gundeck: 28 × 32 pdrs Middle gundeck: 30 × 18 pdrs Upper gundeck: 30 × 12 pdrs Quarterdeck: 8 × 12 pdrs Forecastle: 2 × 12 pdrs Some sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Prince_(1788)& http://www.kenthistoryforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=18598.0 Share your opinions!

Haratik Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 There's another 2nd rate already being modeled, but she would be a nice choice for a third option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachi Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 The model is the Prince built in 1670, not 1788. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paint Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Really nice to see a top notch 2nd rate, 16 more Guns than the Pavel, Usable guns on quarterdeck and bow chasers which the pavel lacks. Would like to see it introduced. The model is the Prince built in 1670, not 1788. Ah okay, that explains the more oldish build style.

Paint Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Wow That are some seriously mineature masts. Santissima is probably a F1 Car maneuvrability wise compared to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachi Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The pic most probably shows the Prince laid up in ordinary (which included the removal of the topmasts and topgallant masts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haratik Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 *shrugs* dunno what to tell you googled it and every link came up as Temeraire Maybe that's the Prince in the distance, or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
