![]() ![]() ![]() There are three versions of just the Terror’s lower deck plans, including: 1) the initial 1813 lower deck plan (ZAZ5616), 2) the 1839 plan which shows both HMS Terror and Erebus, and 3) the 1836 plan, which was modified extensively in 1845 (ZAZ5676). The difficulty in this project stems from the multiple versions of plans for HMS Terror, some of which are heavily annotated. ![]() The task was made easier by Peter Carney and William Battersby who kindly assisted me with translating some annotations on the plans. I thought the project would take a few weeks at most, but creating this plan turned out to be a three month ordeal requiring minute scrutiny of multiple plans and significant research on mid-19th century deck furniture and fittings. In late May I began a new sub-project of my build - creating an accurate plan of HMS Terror’s lower deck. (Note: cabin of Thomas Johnson open for debate).
