[edit] Summary
| Description |
A en:Bermuda sloop of the en:Royal Navy, entering port in the en:West Indies. Beginning in the 1790s, the navy procured large numbers of these Bermudian vessels, some ordered directly from Bermudian builders, some bought up from commercial trade. The most noteworthy example was HMS Pickle, which brought home news of British victory at the en:Battle of Trafalgar. The Bermudian ships, which might have from one to three masts, were employed at first to counter the menace of French en:privateers in western waters, and later became the standard advice vessels of the fleet - communications carriers, and fast transports of vital materials or persons. They were also used for recconaissance, chasing slave smugglers, and other uses. The vessel shown may be the earliest recorded example of the modern, triangular en:Bermuda rig on a multiple-masted vessel, though the rig had been used in en:Bermuda for some time before that.
