Lonar 189 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The Pomone Class is really beautiful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Grey 1 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Dear Wind, dear Captains, The draughts are part of a longer thesis on the comparison of Britisch, French, and American 18-pounder-frigates, written by Dirk Böndel, which can be found here (https://depositonce.tu-berlin.de/bitstream/11303/598/1/Dokument_8.pdf), where the specs of the frigate classes are listed. Unfortunately it is written in German, but there are many plans, drawings, diagrams, and tables. Cheers Alan Grey 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alan Grey 1 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Dear Bungee, I am quite sure there is no problem posting it here. Just wanted to note that there are more informations on the 18-pounder-frigates to be found. Cheers Alan Grey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Armstrong 42 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 It's actually a Chapman Designed Privateer Frigate! Plates 31-32. It was his biggest frigate in Architechtura Navalis Merotica, and To my knowledge Amiral Paris' version was more or less a reprint of the same plan. However it may have influenced the design of the later Continental Frigate Indien/South Carolina (Which was French Designed and Dutch-built IIRC, and also quite large for her era) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haratik 292 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Malachi posted a plan of this French 24lb frigate a year or so ago, but I was able to find one in more detail. Cheers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
