Zeitgenössische Pläne historischer Schiffe

von Fredrik Henrik af Chapman,

Architectura Navalis Mercatoria, 1768

   

Der schwedische Schiffbauer Fredrik Henrik af Chapman veröffentliche 1768 in Stockholm die Zeichnungen von zahlreichen Schiffen in seinem Buch "Architectura Navalis Mercatoria". Es enthält 62 Tafeln ("Plates") und theoretische Überlegungen aus jener Zeit. Das klassische Werk.

Alle seine Tafeln stehen zum Download zur Verfügung auf der Website des Stockholmer Marinemuseums (Sjöhistoriska Museet):

http://www.sjohistoriska.se/sv/Fordjupning/Sok-i-samlingarna/Arkiv/F-H-af-Chapmans-arkiv/ChapmanNet/ChapmanNet1/

  

Leider haben die Museumsmitarbeiter auf der Website nicht den Index mit aufgeführt, in dem Chapman Informationen zu den dargestellten Schiffen gegeben hatte: die Länge, Breite, Tiefgang, Ladekapazität in Tonnen, Anzahl der Kanonen auf den Kriegsschiffen und den Kaperfahrzeugen, deren Besatzung und die Anzahl der Riemenpaare bei den kleineren Booten.

  

Unten angeführt sind Tabellen mit dem englischen Index seines Werks, "Index and description of the draughts contained in this work". Die Scans des Original-Inhaltsverzeichnis sind mit aufgeführt. Viele Tafeln enthalten mehrere Zeichnungen ("Draughts"), die in der zweiten Spalte aufgeführt sind. Insgesamt sind es 182 Zeichnungen von einzelnen Schiffen.

Die Längenangaben sind in englischen Fuß, 1 ft = 30,48 cm .

Fast alle Tafeln zeigen nur die Linienrisse der Schiffe. Die zugehörigen Takelagen sind in Tafel 62 aufgeführt.

 

Beim Erstellen der Tabellen wurde die Schreibweise von Chapman weitgehend übernommen. Manche Begriffe haben heute jedoch eine etwas andere Bedeutung. Chapman unterschied fünf Hauptgruppen nach der Art der Rumpfkonstruktion. Frigate, Hagboat und Pink (Fregatte, Heckboot und Pinke) besaßen ein Galion wie Kriegsschiffe gleicher Größe, während Catt und Bark (Katt und Bark) ohne Galion und recht bauchig im Bug gebaut waren.
