Ned Loe Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Corvette 'L'Aurore' A sloop-of-the-war was built in Le Havre on a private building site. After this presentation, Gérard Delacroix describes the 1767 voyage, including long excerpts from the book published in 1767, that gave a detailed account of that voyage. This historical context is completed by documents (manuscripts from the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève), the importance of armament in 1767; and especially the detailed list of the sloop-of-the-war's contents when she was handed over to the King in 1769.

Ned Loe Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 That looks like a french yacht. It says sloop-of-war . What is sloop of war? Classification: A sloop-of-war was smaller than a sailing frigate and was (by virtue of having too few guns) outside the naval rating system. In general, a sloop-of-war would be under the command of a master and commander rather than a post captain, although in day-to-day use at sea the commanding officer of any naval vessels would be addressed as "captain". A ship sloop was generally the equivalent of the smaller corvette of the French Navy (although the French term also covered ships up to 24 guns, which were classed as Post ships within the Sixth Rate of the British Navy). The name corvette was subsequently also applied to British vessels, but not until the 1830s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
