| The Snake class were direct copies of the Cruiser class, except they
were ship rigged as opposed to brig rigged sloops. During the early half
of the century the brig sloops were built like miniature warships, having
a forecastle deck, poop deck, stern gallery windows and decoration. Snake
class were much more business like with a flush deck and nine cannons or
carronades each side. They were very fast and seaworthy.
As originally built Snake had a full ordnance of 32 Pounder carronades. Carronades replaced the carriage guns because at close quarters the short-range, carronades proved to be devastating to their opponents. Class dimensions were: Length 100'. Breadth 30' 6". Displacement 382 tons with a crew of 121. Snake was the first in the class and was launched in 1797. In 1809 she was converted to a brig and sold in 1816 after a 20-year career. ----- Le kit a été étudié pour être construit comme premier ou second modèlle, toutes les pièces sont découpées sur machines numériques pour assurer une grande précision d'assemblage, construction par double bordé.
