Title
Dimensions of masts and spars for 44 and 36 gun frigates
Description
In answer to request of 15 July, Knox provides dimensions of spars and masts for 36 and 44 gun ships. Reported that for the 36 gun ships, would be a little inferior to that of 44 gun, but it seems the same size will answer for both.
