Title
Dimensions of a ship
Description
Humphreys informs Knox about a particular ship under construction. The height of the wing and all other transoms will be placed as per the instructions already sent with the molds. The wing transom will be modified to be straight instead of rounding up six inches. The distance and place of the after-port remain as before, and the length of the keel will be taken from the drafts.
