Plan of HMS 'Adventure' (1646) Long Caption: Scale: 1:48. A plan with an accompanying table of mast and spar dimensions showing the after body with sternboard, sheer lines with outboard detail above the waterline, fore body and longitudinal half-breadth of the 'Adventure' (1646), a 40 gun Fourth Rate two-decker. The Keltridge Draughts all carry a very high level of detail, particularly in relation to the exterior fittings and decoration of the ships depicted. On this vessel, the ornate letters 'C R' can be seen, suggesting a vessel that was built or drawn as she appeared during the reign of Charles II (1660-1685).
