Ephraim Chambers Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1728 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This is a detailed drawing of a British Naval ship of war common in the year of 1728. Ships like this were likely to have been used in fighting the Napoleonic Wars, the French Revolutionary War, and the American War of Independence. The typical naval battle held in these wars was known as line warfare and generally consisted of two lines of enemy ships that attempt to out maneuver one another in order best attack the opposing ship with their broadside cannons. The top half of this drawing depicts and identifies specific parts of the exterior of the ship with a focus on the rigging and hall. The ship’s broadside and inner hall is explored, in part, in the bottom half of the drawing. A ship of this sort would most likely be the type of vessel that the two navel officers, Charlotte and La Rue traveled on from Portsmouth, England to New York Harbor, America in Rowson’s Charlotte Temple. Though specific officer’s quarters are not categorized, this description can be of aid to the reader of the novel by clarifying the general surroundings the characters would be exposed to on their journey as well as the general size, shape and specific workings of the ship the characters would most likely be on. The drawing, overall, enables the reader to develop an impression of the atmosphere for Charlotte’s transatlantic journey and better put into context the authors description of her and other character’s movements throughout the ship.
