Allegheny Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Hello, I would like to build a model of the USS Independence 74 Gun ship of the line but I'm unable to locate any plans for her. Any assistance would be appreciated. I have found starboard side photos when she was cut down and made into a receiving vessel. Also a poor image of her sail plan. If you know of sites or have links, please post them in their entirety. Often the links are incomplete or the site names aren't current. In advance -Thanks for your assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Fox III Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Greetings, I did some checking online, and found a USS Independence 1814-1913 listed as a 90 gun ship of the line, first in the US Navy. It was later "razed" into a frigate, and lastly as a receiving ship. Below are two sites with info about that vessel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Independence_(1814) https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/uss-independence.htm The lasted one has a large sail plan drawing that might be useful. No mention of any sort of plans in this info though. Anchor's A Weigh! John Fox III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny Posted October 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Thank you for the links. I had visited those sites earlier. I had hoped someone would have had some plans of the ship itself - being the first one of its kind for America. Even the cut down version would shed some light on how it was built - but I've found nothing so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
