Ned Loe Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Very nice lines. Looks like a miniature Wenden 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox2run Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) You can have an extract: Its a warship with 56 guns which is ment to be build so it can have provisions for 380 men in 6 months and wood and beer for 3 months. The middle of the drawings is signed by the king himself (Frederik IV). On the first drawing is a kind of a contract - but it will take while to translate it, as the letters used isnt in use anymore... Today we use another alphabet in Denmark... However it says the drawings are made by "english principles". The guns are: 18 pdr lower deck (22 guns) 12 pdr upper deck (22 guns) 6 pdr open deck (12 guns) Edited August 23, 2016 by fox2run 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox2run Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 BTW: its not a sailing report. Its a trusted man for the king who examined the drawings and made comments about the technical stuff. Its all a kind of a lay out that had to be approved by the king before the ship is build. Any changes or recommendations for the build is found in the text. (It will take a while to translate it completely). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBoiteux Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Frederik IV ? So this drawing should date from 1699-1730, right ? "27 may 1727" and 1729 are written on the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
