H.M.S. President 1760
The H.M.S. President was one of many light frigates constructed in England during the years 1730 till 1760. These ships were constructed upon consideration of the economic limits which were due to the numerous wars of the period. The ship was 34 meters long and it still had some influences of the galleons, but the back of the ship was not high and this made it easier for the ship to sail rapidly even with goods aboard. The H.M.S. President was used mainly for the commerce between England and America.
