Tossedman Posted 22 hours ago Share #1 Posted 22 hours ago I'm curious as to what ship's boats would have been carried on a cutter like Cheerful or Surly and where they may have been stowed. Any ideas out there? Cheers, Todd Keith Black and CiscoH 2 Quote "I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it."

Thukydides Posted 1 hour ago Share #2 Posted 1 hour ago (edited) So Cheerful was launched in 1806, so I don’t have a clear answer for you, but here is what W E May recounts (based on Admiralty documents): 1779: Cutters and Brigs to have a 4 oared yawl or cutter 1783: Cutters to have two boats instead of one (not clear what the second would be, potentially a yawl and a cutter?) 1815: Cutters to have a 20ft deal cutter. It is also mentioned that new cutters (those of 200 and 193 tonnes) should have a 22ft gig and 16ft cutter.
