	Sloop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sailing, a sloop is a vessel with a Fore-and-aft rig.
		To maximize the amount of sail carried, the classical sloop may use a bowsprit, which is essentially a fixed spar that projects forward from the bow of the boat.
		Sloops in their modern form were developed by the French to run British blockades.

	Sloop-of-war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A brig sloop had two masts and a ship sloop had three (since a brig is a two masted square-rigged vessel and a ship a three- or more-masted square-rigger, though invariably of 3 only in that period).
		A ship sloop was generally the equivalent of a corvette (the French term for the same type, a name subsequently also applied to British vessels).
		By this time the terms "sloop" and corvette had both come to mean a small warship armed with one or two 4-inch guns and depth charges, primarily employed on convoy escort duty.

	Sloops of the Hudson River, Part I, The Packets
		The sloop differs from the cutter, and other one-masted “fore-and-aft” vessels in having her bowsprit fixed, while with the cutter it can be drawn in or “housed.” The cutter is narrow, deep, and sharp and has a keel.
		The rig, however, soon commended itself, for the sloop with her long boom, tall mast, and heavy mainsail was difficult to handle at all times and especially in a blow and required a crew of six men to the schooner’s four.
		The old sloops were formerly furnished with long oars known as “sweeps” which were used, particularly in the Highlands, during calms to prevent the vessels being run ashore by the tide, for the currents there are swift and at certain places would throw a sloop on the rocks were she not kept off.

	sloop. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		A sloop differs from a cutter in that it has a jibstay—a support leading from the bow to the masthead on which the jib is set.
		A sloop of war was a small warship, variously rigged as a barque, brig, brigantine, or ship, that carried fewer than 18 guns in the British navy and fewer than 24 in the American navy.
		The sloop disappeared as a warship in the mid-19th cent., but during World War II the British revived the term to designate a small escort vessel armed with 4-in.

	From Frigate to Sloop - A Critical Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		That is, the old frigate was heavily modified before she was brought into the Gosport Virginia Navy Yard in 1853, and a substantial portion of the old frigate was converted into the sloop which emerged from the yard in 1855.
		The sloop design was a modification of the last iteration of the frigate that had been incrementally modified during the previous three rebuilds.
		Some critics of Frigate to Sloop have noticed that the book does not account for a serious discrepancy: The space between the frames of the 1797 frigate was uniformly 26" and the frame spacing of the sloop is 32".

	Flying Lab Software Forums - Who Made The Sloop?
		Of course, but I was actually referring to the historical version of the sloop (if such a creature exists).
		This Sloop is modeled after the Virginia Sloops of the second half of the 18th century.
		Sloops were likely close cousins, made sleeker, shallower and faster by the masters of small vessels in Jamaica in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

		This group wished to portray the ship as the 1797 frigate, not the 1855 sloop, so they "restored" her by cutting away bulwarks and decks.
		The general deterioration of the ship is evident, as are the gunports cut into her bulwarks to "restore" her as a frigate.
		As a sloop she had no gunports on the spar deck.

	Sloops of the Hudson River by William E. Verplanck and Moses W. Collyer
		THE SLOOP AS A PACKET VESSEL Between the exploration by Henry Hudson's Half Moon and Robert Fulton's steamboat Clermont historic voyage from New York to Albany, there were two centuries where the North River sloop dominated Hudson River travel and shipping.
		The sloop was the forerunner of the vast commerce of the Hudson and an important part in the development and growth of the State of New York.
		No history of the sloops of the Hudson, so far as I can learn, has ever been written, nor has any more than a bare reference here and there been made to them in the literature of the past sixty years.
