Is there anyone on the list who might have the knowledge (or know someone who has the knowledge) to identify the types (i.e. frigate, man of war, corvette etc) of about 6 ships that I have depicted on my East Devon (Honiton) bobbins. The dates are early to mid 1800s. I have been investigating this for a few years with conflicting advice, as for the most part the depictions are incised sketches and not too good. I have been on the net, sent them to maritime museums and I am still not sure ( I felt the museums did not take the illustrations seriously!) I contacted an historical ship model maker. This list is my last hope.
BTW for the Jane Austin fans I have the ASP from persuasion! I think that was a frigate! Thanks. PS I also have a piece of Steam agricultural machinery, that is an equal mystery. I think Stormy's husband might be a steam man? Brian and Jean from Cooranbong, Australia -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 5.7 million users fighting spam.
