These are plans for building plank-on-frame models of three ships that were used during the American Revolution: the Oliver Cromwell, Philadelphia privateer of 1777; the Hancock, 32-gun Continental frigate; and the Confederacy, 36-gun Continental frigate. The plans were all reconstructed from original plans in the Admiralty Collection, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, England.
These plans are listed for sale on page 10 and the history of each model, along with a detailed discussion of the construction of the HMS Alfred can be found in Hahn's "Ships of the American Revolution and their models" (1988). See 623.8201 H148 1988. .
