Ned Loe Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 HMS President The H.M.S. President was one of many light frigates constructed in England during the years 1730 till 1760. These ships were constructed upon consideration of the economic limits which were due to the numerous wars of the period. The ship was 34 meters long and it still had some influences of the galleons, but the back of the ship was not high and this made it easier for the ship to sail rapidly even with goods aboard. The H.M.S. President was used mainly for the commerce between England and America. Plans: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Armstrong Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Not a real vessel, I don't think any of it is based in actual history. Looks nothing like the 6th rates built for the Royal Navy in that time. Stern at least attempts to be reminiscent of Royal Caroline. One must be careful a about plans from models, oftentimes the research that goes into them is less than honest or sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yup, the name lapsed between 1660 to 1806. No such vessel existed at all in that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
