		The page for the Centurion has an e-mail address at the bottom that I think is the builder, you might try him and see where he got the plans.

	Admiral Sir John Balchen
		There is further confirmation of this facet of Sir John's character in his appointment to the 'Corporation for the Relief of poor Sea-officers Widows' in 1732, and the retirement appointment as Governor of the Naval Hospital at Greenwich in 1744.
		The men-of-war were the Centurion of 60 guns and 400 crew, the Gloucester of 50 guns and 300 crew, the Severn of 50 guns and 300 crew, the Pearl of 40 guns and 250 crew, the Wager of 28 guns and 160 crew, with the Tryal sloop of 8 guns and 100 crew.
		It might be expected that on board the Tryal the slaughter would have been the most terrible as her decks were almost constantly knee-deep in water: but it happened otherwise since she only buried 42 and had now 39 remaining alive.

		Another guess is the period around 1720, when he was Captain of HMS Mon mouth cruising not too far from these shores, and could have had the time to sit for the artist.
		The men-of-war were the Centurion of 60 guns and 400 crew, the Gloucester of 50 guns and 300 crew, the Severn of 50 guns and 300 crew, the Pearl of 40 guns and 250 crew, the Wager of 28 guns and 160 crew, with the Tryal sloop of 8 guns and 100 crew.
		A revitalised crew with a repaired Centurion then made for the Portuguese trading post of Macao on the Chinese mainland, where a refit of the ship was undertaken before a final attempt was made to intercept the Manila Galleon.

	Manila galleons
		The next year Governor Vald?s ordered the galleons to put in at Magdalena Bay, in case their commanders considered it advisable, and in 1734 he directed Joseph Berm?dez and Geronimo Montero, generals of the outgoing galleons, to reconnoiter the coast of Lower California for a site for a way-station.
		The chaplain of Anson's Centurion, Richard Walter, raised the issue, and Murillo Velarde answered the aspersion that those of his order were moved by the profits of their trading with the galleon rather than by ?Christian charity.?
		Unfortunately the bearings were from a flag staff the survivors had erected on the sand spit they were on and of course that is not there any more.
