	Royal Navy: Sail - Swords
		Sailing ships, unlike steam ships, are unable to forecast their time of arrival in port to a minute, being dependent on the vagaries of the weather, and so have to leave generous margins.
		The same rule applies in the French navy; the Marine Nationale found it necessary in 1934 to issue a memorandum to this effect: at the same time they established rules for the gender of the definite article to be used.
		In sailing ship days the order "Hands to dance and skylark" was sometimes given; this was probably as a form of physical training, to liven the crew up after a period of dullness, the 'skylarking' perhaps referring to races run in the rigging.

	Busk's Navies of the World - 1859 - The French (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		French ships were usually similar to British ones in terms of size, 90 gun screw ships being around 5000 tons, typical large frigates around 3500 tons and 20 gun corvettes around 2,000 tons, and in armament.
		That's not to say that sailing ships were of no value, neither obsolescent nor even obsolete means useless, but they were unlikely to be called upon for any important service, especially when manpower was likely to be the limiting factor.
		Busk listed Ville de Lyon as an armoured frigate of the Gloire class, but she was actually a fast screw ship of the line of the Napoleon class.

		The list is headed by those ships that engaged on the seaward side of the line.
		The French centre, its gun crews reinforced by men taken from the frigates took a heavy toll, and the gunnery of the Spartiate and Tonnant was particularly remarked by the British.
		French losses were estimated by various sources to total between 2000 and 5000 men killed, wounded or captured, at one point the British were reported to be holding 3000 men prisoner.

		Throughout the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, ship for ship, French ship of the line designs were generally superior, although British crew quality so much higher, that any defects in the British designs were hidden by the uninterrupted series of British victories.
		British battleships also had tumblehome but it was of such a minor degree compared to the French ships, that British ships appeared slab sided in comparison.
		Tumblehome is characterized by a hull that recedes inward as it rises from the waterline.

		The Inflexible lies next in the line, and presents a great contrast to the last-named vessel, for, whereas their superstructures are amidships and they have a but one mast, her superstructures are forward and aft with the turrets between them, and she has two masts and two funnels at a greater distance apart than theirs.
		It is, however, to be remembered that while in the destroyer we have a vessel capable of doing all that was required of the torpedo-boat, with the improvement in speed and habitability there has been soma loss of invisibility, one of the qualities most essential to the success of a torpedo-boat attack.
		She is also a small battleship of 5,347 tonnage displacement, but only 12 knots speed She was built at Copenhagen and launched in 1878.

		It concludes in 1889, when battleships were all metal, powered by internal steam engines, and equipped with a few heavy power-worked weapons situated outside of the main hull, including weapons capable of attacking an adversary underwater – more akin to warships seventy-five years later than seventy-five years before.
		Part one, 1815-1863, covers the sailing ships added to the Navy post 1815, the introduction of paddle steamers of both the wooden and iron variety and the first screw steamships, again of both the wooden and iron variety.
