I have extracted the attached sketch, a longitudinal section through a Castle Class Corvette, from the Ship Particulars Book for Portchester Castle, Rushen Castle and Tunsberg Castle (all three ships having been constructed by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson Ltd).

This document was supplied to me by the Tyne & Wear Archives Service - Copyright.  Please note: Tyne & Wear Archives Service images may not be copied without their permission.

Whilst the sketch is crude, it is nevertheless interesting to have an idea of the disposition of the accommodation on board.

If you are interested in receiving a high quality scan of the entire document (two pages), please write to Tyne & Wear Archives Service quoting reference number 1836/1/7.
