Any 18th-century ship experts out there?
I am trying to understand how big this ship is.
Built 1758-1760, tonnage 150, standardized tonnage 272.3 (data from slavevoyages.org). If anyone knows any images of ships that might be comparable, I'd be very grateful!

A beautiful #Roman glass bowl, in bands of vivid blue, yellow & colourless. It was found in the area around #Vesuvius, & was buried in the AD 79 erruption - fortunately, it was later found & put back together, giving us another lovely example of #AncientGlass!

There was an even bigger difference in the comments received. All on Threads and all but one here were positive, constructive, or neutral (one person was just being a jerk, not a troll). Only 18% on X were positive or neutral. The rest were negative, many highly so.
