| Full description: |
19A.: A strange naive British naval ship, possibly a sloop of ca. 20 guns under fore and main skysails. She is rigged with a main spencer/trysail and her tops are unusually large
19B.: A 19th century gaff-rigged cutter or sloop (cf Figs 3A & 8B) with a gaff topsail, probably a coastal trader or fishing vessel.
19TE.: Along the root end of the trailing edge is an unusual two masted boat apparently with a large lateen foresail and a smaller gaff rigged sail aft. In the early 19th century, both America and Britain had gunboats with unusual combinations of rigs, some including lateen sails. |
