Unnamed 161ft 74-gun Third Rate, two-decker, possibly the 'Culloden' (1747) Long Caption: Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plan, sheer lines, and longitudinal half-breadth for an unnamed 161ft 74-gun Third Rate, two-decker. This plan may well be the design plan for 'Culloden' (1747), as the dimensions stated are the same, 'Culloden' was designed by Jacob Acworth in 1744, and the decks have the correct number of guns. On comparison with ZAZ0975 and ZAZ0976, the hull form is very similar, even if there are differences with gunport and channel positions. Signed by Jacob E. Acworth [Surveyor of the Navy, 1715-1749].
