Yup, mine looks just like that inside Smile
Greetings,

That's a Thomas Gillmer design. He is a real Naval Architect (as in the US Navy), taught at the Academy. He is the kind soul who penned for us the lines of the Pride(s) of Baltimore, which I visit whenever she comes to Navy Pier. I own several of his books including "Pride of Baltimore" and "Old Ironsides".

More pictures of Privateers.

The Privateers were rigged as Ketches and Cutters. But somebody rerigged this one as a schooner. Check out the sails ...
