The Seventy-Four
The Seventy-Four was a type of two-decked sailing ship of the line nominally carrying 74 guns.
Remarkable for: The Seventy-Fours were a mainstay of the world's fleets into the early decades of the 19th century. Invented by the French, this ship type was a very large two-decker, big enough to carry the largest common type of gun (36-pounders) on the lower gun deck. This great firepower was combined with very good sailing qualities.
