One of my favorite Great Lakes replicas is the Friends Good Will. It's a small topsail sloop of 54 tons. It's a replica of an early 19th century merchant vessel.
Here it is coming into port after a tour. It wasn't windy that day, so it used its diesel engine.
The tiller is fully functional even with the diesel engine.
The replica has one cannon, the British outfitted the merchant vessel with three cannons.
