Title: 
Outline of the East End of Fort George with References to the Estimate for Works & Repairs proposed for that place, in the year 1787
Creator: 
Shipley, Charles, Sir (active 1785-1787)
Creator Role: 
Surveyor
Date: 
1787
Description: 
This plan is accompanied by plans in 00003224, 00003225 and 00003226, and the diagram in 00003229, which are concerned with improving the pier and landing access at the fort. This, however, is a full plan of the fort at Ardersier, but its purpose is mainly concerned with the layout and construction of new drains, as seen from the notes on it, most of which are in Charles Shipley's handwriting. A pencil note in the middle of the plan, which reads 'Pump well 20 feet deep. When tide is full there is 8 feet water here brackish drains', is not in Charles Shipley's handwriting and may be of a later date. A panel has been added to the left side, extending the scope of the plan, and there is a pencil note 'This new addition only is necessary to be copied as far as * marsh to show the of the Point Drains proposed to be repaired and prolonged'. The tide levels for high and low water are noted on this section.
