'Ajax' (1836); 'Caroline' (1836) Long Caption: Scale: 1:48. A plan showing the inboard profile for 'Ajax' (1836), and 'Caroline' (1836), both 99ft three-masted ship-rigged merchant ships. The plan includes a table for comparing the dimensions for 'Ajax' (1836), 'Caroline' (1836), 'Ruby' (1838), and 'Victoria' (1831). The Lloyd's Survey Reports for 'Ajax' (BRS153) and 'Caroline' (BRS200) confirm their similar dimensions and tonnage, while the Report for 'Ruby' (BRS278) records a her as being slightly longer. The Report for 'Victoria' (BS30) does not record her dimension, but the tonnage is larger, implying a longer vessel.
