Description
English: 'Director' (1784)

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the upper deck for 'Director' (1784), a 64-gun Third Rate, two-decker.

Note that the name in the Admiralty stamp has been altered from 'Dictator' (1783). The dimensions for the two ships were very similar, which has lead to confusion over the identity of the which ship the plan relates to.

Initialled by John Williams [Surveyor of the Navy, 1765-1784] and Edward Hunt [Surveyor of the Navy, 1778-1784].
