Ship: Hector, 5th Rate prize 22-30 guns LGD: 100ft LK: 80ft Beam: 25ft Hold: 10ft LK x B x D: 200 tons LK x B x D x (4/3): 266 tons LK x B x (B/2)/94 : 265-45/47 tons (burden) Guns probably sakers (5-1/4pdr) and minions (4pdr) (say 16-sakers and 8 minions)I am in desperate need of better gun information for English ships in 1652 to 1654, if someone has some better information).
