    Default Stretching Sculpts: SGN103 1773 Amazon 12-pounder 32's

    Bad news: 1773 Amazon appears to be the ONLY 32-gun frigate design by Williams.

    I'm confining this to only 12-pounder 32's, 36's (frequently evolved from 32's and only about 5' longer) and 28's (several 32's were similarly stretched versions of 28 designs) at first--we'll look outward, both in time/armament and in number of guns, later--this table is just a starting point.
    For the sake of post length, I will be linking drawings in a separate post in this thread.
