LeBoiteux Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Vensejo/Port Mahon, spanish/british, 1797 - 1837, 18 guns Length of Gundeck 91' 5 ½" Breadth 25' 2" Burthen 276 50⁄94 Gundeck 18 British 6-Pounder Plans: http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/84066.html Do you know whether or not she is the Spanish Brig Vencejo (1797) : - probably built at Port Mahon, - captured by the British navy and renamed HMS Vincejo in 1799, - then captured by the French in 1804 and renamed Victorine then Comte de Regnaud whose history can be read at : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Vincejo_(1799) ?

Malachi Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Don´t know what happened to her in british service, but that´s the Vencejo And according to 'British Warships in the Age of Sail', the french did indeed capture and renamed her. But Victorine is mentioned, just 'Le Comte de Reginaud' Edited October 19, 2015 by Malachi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haratik Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Revenue Cutter Seems to be a contradiction as to whether this is the James Madison(1807) Revenue Cutter, or a similar design. Regardless, here's the plans as I didn't see this anywhere else: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sella Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 An armed sacoleve.Before you start saying she is out of timeframe, the actual design of the hull is waayyy older than the date listed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sella Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The rigging of this ship is very impressive. A mixte of many rigging. Strange... The main feature of the sacoleve is the almost square sail with the diagonal mast. The rest of the rigging can vary, usually it is different from island to island or place to place It was mostly a matter of local tradition and geography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTMatt Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 This suggestion from LeBoiteux is really good looking. I mean its probably not fast or agile but maybe the newbs will love it for its frigate appearance. La Belle La Belle (1680) 6-gun french barque longue (copyright) Tonnage : 40-45 Length : 54 ft 4 in (16,56 m). Beam : 14 ft 9 in (4,50 m) Draft : 8 ft (2,4 m) Expedition Part of the disastrous expedition of René-Robert Cavelier de la Salle sent from France in 1684 to explore the mouth of Mississippi. Wrecked during a storm on the Texas banks.

Thats my 6/8/10 gun lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBoiteux Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 This suggestion from LeBoiteux is really good looking. I mean its probably not fast or agile but maybe the newbs will love it for its frigate appearance. As a late-XVIIth century French long bark, La Belle has close links with XVIII-and-XIXth-century French Corvettes. See e. g. https://books.google.fr/books?id=Q4uuCAAAQBAJ&pg=PA130&lpg=PA130&dq=barque+longue+corvette&source=bl&ots=VGkTLOMsYx&sig=_upcivkdhMl4fXBp1O17KEocizc&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwih8eKDvvTLAhUBfRoKHbr0C6QQ6AEIMzAG#v=onepage&q=barque%20longue%20corvette&f=false http://ancre.fr/en/monographies-en/61-monographie-de-la-creole-corvette-1823.html "The corvette takes its place in our navy only beginning in 1696 when it is referred to as a "corvette or long bark." It appears in annual inventories until 1746 when the term "long bark" falls off and only the name "corvette"is retained." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
