A British warship of 1654. This ship is an excellent example of the ships that were in use just before the jib began to put in its appearance.
The lateen sail on the mizzenmast is similar to the one used on the caravels,
but both the rigging and the hull are greatly refined as compared with the ships of the time of Columbus.
