		Pinnaces are clearly boats in this context, but at about the time the Commission was investigating, the Navy received two pinnaces, the Henrietta and the Maria, that were, equally clearly, small ships, for they were 52ft by 15ft by 6½ft and carried 6 guns apiece.
		As a less robust craft than the longboat, the pinnace was of much smaller cross-section than the longboat, although as the latter shrank in size it became little longer than the pinnace.
		During the next quarter of a century, the two carronades carried by launches and pinnaces were gradually replaced by 24pdr howitzers and from 1840, it became practice to fit a gun, capable of being used in the boat or, once dismounted, as a field gun.
