Description

Sail and rig detail plan for a Revolutionary-era whaleboat recreated by William A. Baker for the Darien Historical Society in the 1970s. Two boats were built to these plans in 1977: the whaleboat "Middlesex" in Darien, Connecticut, and "Henry Scudder" in Huntington, New York.

This plan includes a sail plan and drawings for spars, oars, the rudder, cleat, and swivel gun for outfitting the whaleboat. Specifications for the rig are in the upper right corner.
