Question. Would a frigate like JAs Surprise been much smaller than that?

Somewhat. HMS Surprise was a small frigate , a 32 I belive (forgive me, it's been at least 10 years since I've read the books). Have you seen Constitution(a 44) in Boston or Constellation(a 20 gun sloop of war) in Baltimore? Length wise she'd be between the two, but in weight and displacement closer to Constellation . Before they made the movie , the ship they used used to be HMS Rose and was homeported in Conneticut.

28. Havent made it to Baltimore yet. All and all, she would have been a rather sizable ship, I take it.

As a 28 she was barely a frigate. There were sloops that were rated 24. USS Ranger (John Paul Jones 2nd command) for one. I would say that she would be considerably smaller than either ship.

Smaller than a sloop? [&:]

I thought Surprise was a standard 36-gun English frigate. Haven't read the books yet, so I'll be happy to be corrected.

Last anecdote of the night. On the Becuna I met one of the volunteers, a lively gentleman that served on the Finback during the war. One of his many funny comments was that if they knew the kind of offspring Bush would have they never would have pulled him out.

The Constellation was built in 1859. The Surprise , when 1760's? Compare a predreadnaugt of 8,000 tons with a post ww2 CA like Rochester (17,000 tons). Get my drift? Different era's , different standards. Constellation was the last pure sail vessel for the USN. It was nearly as big as a 38 gun frigate (Like the previous Constellation).

Really? Are you looking into getting your broker license? I've kicked around the idea. I'm far too busy with my current job...but if things ever slowed down I've thought of doing it on the side.

no broker at this time - I am doing it mainly to handle forest land transactions not neccessarily residential. In SC you have to be a lisensed agent for three years before you can get a brokers liscense.
