Stretching Sculpts: SGN102 1782 French Temeraire 74's

[Diamondback]

Comparative data for the 1778-1782 generation of French 74's--the last ship preceding this was 1777 Destin, built to a 1763 design. This was really the last generation of French 74 designs, as they kept cranking out modified Temeraires to the end of fighting sail.
