[Heinrich]

good luck with your new project my friend Heinrich, I will keep following with great curiosity

This is not my new project, my friend. I have just posted my new project in my build log. Thank you for the kind words.

Hi Bob. Please scroll up to my earlier posting. starting with:

Hi Uwe. I have managed to unearth some information about the ship. One has to be careful not to confuse this model with the 1742 HMS Wolfe - even though they both belong to the Snow-Class of sloops.

The 1759 does not refer to the launch date - that was in 1754; but to her configuration in 1759 during the bombardment of Le Havre.

Thank you, for some reason my old windows 7 is keeping that page hidden! All the ships in the dialogue seem to be strikingly similar, presumably from the same architect? I haven't checked that with NMM.
But there is that planking pattern!!!

British sloop 'Wolf' (1754)

British sloop 'Wolf' (1754). Dates of service, name changes, previous and next incarnations, dimensions, armament, commanders, officers and crewmen, actions, battles, sources

There are several drawings existing from the class

Cruizer (1752) [alternative spelling: Cruiser]​

Scale: 1:48. Plan showing a partially completed inboard profile illustration the mast dispositions for Cruizer (1752), an 8-gun, snow-rigged Sloop. A mizzen mast was added at Sheerness Dockyard per Navy Board Warrant dated 29 November 1753, which meant that the Cruizer was now a ship-rigged sloop.

Excellent information, Uwe. You almost made me reconsider what to build next! Seriously though, thank you for this. For those who may consider building her this will be valuable information which all adds up to her history. A 27-year naval career before being sold, is not to be scoffed at!

Yours for 262 quid!

That is about half the price of the model! Now, that's inflation for you!

So many nice new kits. I am really happy, that I have started a really long term project. So I don’t have to make a decision.

I agree, Christian. We are spoilt for choice.
