I’m sure most builder’s here have seen these two image’s before , but I 've just noticed at the bottom corner , is written , plan 8. and plan 9 . could some-one tell me what book they came out off , if so are there any other plan’s , like 1-7 , or 10 and on . would like to see them .
Those are from C. Nepan Longridge’s book, The Anatomy of Nelson’s Ships. Despite the title, it’s a paean to Longridge’s 1/48 scale scratch-built Victory
I have seen debate that they are from a previous set of plans, but have never seen anything convincing one way or another.
I dod not know of a source other than the hardcover edition of the book, and you’d need to razor-blade them out to use them flat.
They are exquisitely detailed, and utterly complete for Victory, 1805.
Hopefully, that 2¢ will help.
Steve,
As Capnmac82 stated, Plans 1 thru 12 are all in Longridge’s The Anatomy of Nelson’s Ships. Quite detailed and very useful. They cover Profile, Deck plans, Standing and Running rigging and even Belaying pin layout among the 12 plan pages.
Looks like Campbell did all those Plan drawings. The other drawings in the book were designed by E. Bowness and then drawn by George Campbell. The 1 thru 12 full sheet and folding sheet plans were all designed and drawn by Campbell and it appears they were done just for this book.
Thanks for bring this up. Longridge’s book is equally as good or better than McKay’s Anatomy of the 100-gun ship Victory . Much better for the 1805 ship. And much much better if you want a good depiction of the Belfry.
The National Maritime Museum in England has good plans. Some large sheets were published by The Society For Nautical Research. They even have the 1805 rigging plan. That plan has some differences from plan #7 in Longridge’s book.
