SHIP. BUILDING. 



is birthed up with a bulk-head of l:^inch deal, and the fame 

 from the boatfwain's cabin forward, and between thofe 

 •with ftantions and whole deal battens or lattice-work. On 

 the ftarboard-fide, oppofite to the fteward's room, &c. is the 

 captain's ftore-room, doftor's cabin, and firlt lieutenant's 

 ftore-room ; and between the captain's ilore-room and paH'age 

 to powder-room, is fitted a difpenfary for the dodlor. 



On this plan it is cultomary with a different coloured ink 

 to draw the plan of the works in the hold ; and to diftin- 

 guifli them on the plate, they are reprefented by fine ticked 

 lines. 



Under beam i is a bulk-head for'the boundary of the light- 

 room, together with its plan, and alfo the magazine-lights, 

 jambs, and fpla-boards, (to throw the rays ot light more 

 into the magazine). The magazine is furrounded by a ftrong 

 bulk-head of three-inch plank, the edges rabbetted together, 

 the infide of which is doubly lined with flit deal, fo as to 

 cover each joint, and on the outfide with flit deal, and a thick 

 coat of mortar under it. The flat of the magazine is firfl 

 laid with three-inch plank, caulked on beams underneath, 

 upon which are faflened, with copper dumps, the pallating 

 beams, framed together at right angles, about three feet 

 "ifunder : the upper edges are rabbetted to receive the flat, 

 which is li-inch deal, lined on the underfide. The bulk head 

 at the fide, which forms the wing, is conftrufted with pannels, 

 and rabbetted ftantions to receive the pannels : in the fore 

 part of the magazine in midfhips is the filling-room, which 

 is lower than the fnrface of the flat about twelve inches : 

 this is lined with lead, as it is the place where the cartridges 

 ri'-e filled, (hence its name,) for greater fecurity : as it isclofe 

 abaft the lights, glafs faflies extend acrofs, guarded with a 

 copper- wire net- work : in the fides of the filling-room are 

 racks for filled cartridges, and a compartment behind them 

 for ftaves of empty barrels. The powder barrels are itowed 

 upon dunnage battens, over the pallating flat, which is 

 parted off from the filling by an open bulk-head of ftantions 

 and battens. Magazines arc now only fitted up to receive 

 barrels with cartridges already filled. 



Abaft the magazine are a ftore-room for the boatfwain ; on 

 the larboard-fide, in midfliips, a ftore-room for the gunner, 

 and under that a fhot-locker ; and on the ftarboard-fidc a 

 ftore-room for the carpenter. 



Next abaft the main-hatchway is the plan of the well, 

 and fhot-locker afore and abaft it. Under the fore-fide of 

 the 2oth beam is the bulk-head of the fpirit-room, and under 

 the aft-fide of the 2 id beam the bulk-head of the coal-hole : 

 its after bulk-head is under the fore-fide of the 23d beam, 

 which alfo makes the fore bulk-bead of the powder-room, 

 which is inclofed round with a bulk-head fimilar to that of 

 the magazine forward ; likewife the light-room, and palfage 

 to the powder-room, which is fitted up with racks for 

 flowing filled cartridges, as reprefented in the plan : all 

 abaft the powder-room bulk-head is occupied for the bread- 

 room, to the bulk-head for lady's-hole. 



On Plate VI. is reprefented the half-plan of the quarter- 

 deck, waift, and forecaftle, likewife the half-plan of the 

 upper deck. 



On the plan of the upper deck is fliewn the beak-head ftan- 

 tions, whofe fides are rabbetted to receive the bulk-head : the 

 midfhip ftantions to be about 2 feet 6 inches on each fide 

 the middle line, and 1 2 inches fquare as high as the flat of 

 the beak-head ; they tenon at the heel into the foremofl 

 beam of the upper deck, and receive into their outfides the 

 tenon of the coUar-carling, which is of the fame fize as the 

 ftantions, having its upper fide well with the flat of the 

 beak-head, which is of the fame height as the lower fills of the 

 ports. The jnidfhip ftantions to be 65 inches fquare above the 



Vot. XXXII. 



collar-carling : the other ftantions, which are four m nutnber 

 on each fide, are all 6i inches fquare, and face aft f ths of an 

 inch into the cat-beam : the two outer ftantions are placed 

 afunder to the fpread of the round-houfes, and (huuld be 

 kept far enough out that the funnel may come clear of thf 

 fide : the third ftantion from the middle line muft be fpaced 

 fo as to make the bow-chafe port : the next ftantion within 

 makes the headdoor : on the midftiip-fide of the head-door 

 is a fcuttle, with a flap hung over it to lead in the fore-tack. 

 The heels of all thefe ftantions tenon into the collar-carling 

 witli a double-flop. 



The framing of the fore-maft partners are fhewn, as before 

 direfted, for the main partners on the gun-deck, on the out- 

 fide of which are the heels of the fore-fheet and jeer-bitts ; 

 the heel of the former to fpread fufliciently from the middle 

 line to lead the fore-tack clear of the galley, having a flieeve 

 fitted into it for that purpofe. Abaft the fore-maft partner* 

 are the cants for the galley, which is inclofed abaft by two 

 doors. 



The fore-hatch and ladder-way to be framed, as direfted 

 on the gun-deck, with coamings ten inches broad, and nine 

 inches above the deck, and head-ledges fix inches thick ; 

 next abaft are the fore -jeer capftan partners, to be fevea 

 inciies thick, their ends let down into a framing fimilar to the 

 hatchway (or to have their ends fquare, and fhut in with the 

 deck), and bolted through the beams and carlings, and their 

 edges to be rabbetted to ftop the caulking. The ladder-way, 

 main hatchway, main-maft partners, after-hatch, main-jeer 

 capftan partners, gratings, and ladder-ways, are all framed 

 as before defcribed. 



On this plan the flat of the deck is reprefented, and the 

 feveral butts fhifted : clofe to the fide are the water-ways, 

 five inches thick, and the firtt ftrake of oak, which is cut 

 off between the riders ; the next four ftrakes are alfo Enghfh 

 oak in the wear of the guns, fhifted in fliort lengths, and 

 anchor-ftock, or top and butt, to alTift the converfion. The 

 reft of the deck is three-inch Pruffia deal, except the binding, 

 ftrakes, which are the fecond and third, without the main 

 hatch-coamings, and under the forecaftle : the deals muft 

 be fo fhifted as to work their whole lengths, or great wafte 

 will occur, that is, 30, 36, and 40-feet lengths. The mizen 

 partners are framed with a carling ou each fide, and comer- 

 pieces as high as the beams, and the flat round them is oak, 

 five inches thick. 



Clofe up under the beams is reprefented the tiller, as fitted 

 with the horn-hoop over the end, for keeping up the tiller- 

 rope in the fweep, and a hoop abaft it, with eyes in it, 

 through which the rope is reeved, to be fet up taught by 

 tackles hooked to the eye-bolts ; further aft, at the after- 

 end, are iron rods, which are hove taught by a fcrew-nut, to 

 keep the tiller aft. At the fore-end, on the upper fide, ic 

 an iron goofeneck, which traverles on the fweep, and keep? 

 up the fore-end ; the rope traverfes round the fweep in a 

 groove, and is led up to the wheel on the deck above by 

 Ihceves fitted at the end of the fweep, and the blocks afor- 

 the maft reprefented by the ticked line. 



Sometimes abaft, where the fide is to round to hive 

 riders, iron Itandards are fitted, as on beams 26 and 27. 



On the beam, before the mizcn-maft, is the bulk-head of 

 the ward-room, fitted with double doors on each fide. 



The knee under the cat-beam prevents the hanging of a 

 door at the aft-fide of the round-houfcn forward : they arc 

 therefore inclofed with a bulk-head, and a door on the aft- 

 fide. 



On the plan of the forecaftle is (hewn (as was the prac- 

 tice when the plate was engraved), the conflruftion ot the 

 fife-rail, as let over the heads of the beak-head-ftaotioni,
