'Walker' (circa 1780) Long Caption: Scale: 1:48. A plan showing the body plan, sheer lines with inboard detail, and longitudinal half-breadth for Walker (circa 1780), a three-masted 110ft merchantman built at Blackwall. The dimensions on the plan are described "as for frigates". Pencil annotation on reverse suggests she was built about 1776, and converted to a Sloop, however no provenance for this.
