Looks great!
Thanks for sharing your battle report and photos.
Of course, historically, all of the three vessels in the encounter were single-masted sloops, from what I've read. Only Blackbeard's sloop had actual cannons.
The other two vessels only had rail-mounted, light swivel guns. I have the impression that since they were impressed fishing/merchant sloops, that perhaps they were also smaller than Blackbeard's sloop, but don't really know for sure.
Seems to me the two impressed vessels may have been more like your Shallop, shown in the photo, than actual sloops. I've tried researching this further without success.
At least one of the two did carry a significant number of men below deck, while the other had fewer men on board.
Would love to know more if anyone has more details to share.
Who makes the Shallop shown in your photo, particularly, as well as the other vessels?
