Ned Loe Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 'Raleigh' USS Raleigh was one of thirteen ships that the Continental Congress authorized for the United States Navy in 1775. Following her capture in 1778, she served in the Royal Navy as HMS Raleigh. Feel free to post more plans or details.

maturin Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 What a funny body plan. Threedecks claims that she carried a total of 32 12-pdrs, mounting them on the quarterdeck as well! The British replaced them with 6-pdrs, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 It would be interesting to see how 32x12lbs/ 32x32lbs caros hit and reload in naval action. I think it's a sweet close range ship. more pictures here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/3662-mystic-seaport-models/page-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British replaced them with 6-pdrs, of course. Probably a simple mistake: 32-gun 12pdr frigate becomes 32x 12pdr guns. I believe she actually carried 26x 12pdr and 6-10x 6pdrs. 10x ports can be seen on QD/FC in her "as taken" plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The diorama is nice, but the appearance of the ship itself seems highly questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talos Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Ah, Raleigh, a fun design. I always found her and Hancock rather clunky, with Randolph or Virginia much sleeker. Anyway, here's the Chapelle plans for her. It has her sail plan as well. http://i.imgur.com/MdLBRt5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
