HMS 'Ambuscade', 1775.

Perspective painting of a whole hull model by Joseph Marshall, commissioned by King George III. In 1773, George III directed that plans for one of each class of His Majesty's ships should be prepared for him. A series of perspective paintings of unrigged hull models was produced by Marshall between 1773 and 1775. 'Ambuscade' was a Thetis/Amazon Class 12 pounder frigate with 32 guns, designed by Sir John Williams, surveyor of the Navy, and built by Adams & Barnard of Deptford, London. Launched in 1773, she was taken by the French in 1798 and renamed 'Embuscade', but was recaptured five years later and broken up in 1810.
