Ships, Boats, Things that Float

[Asmodius]

Corvette/corvair: Smaller than frigates and larger than sloops-of-war...They carried 1 to 24 deck guns(in the french classification system), and functioned as coastal patrol ships. The english classified them as six rate until the name corvette was used in 1830 onward.

Thanks for the info Fisherking! That is exactly the sort of thing I want. Thanks to you to Asmodius. All those suggestions are going in the OP.

Originally I decided not to include canoes, gunboats and dinghies based on the fact that I didn't think CA would want to represent such a small boat. But thinking about it we may as well put them in because I have seen plenty of games set in the period that do include them.

And a reply from Jack! Excellent info! Since you've noticed this thread I don't suppose you could tell us if we are close with our suggestions or not? I understand if you can't of course.
