    Default Anyone out there have a copy of the 1714-1792 BWAS volume?

    I'm trying to run down some data on a few ships between dimensions and designs, and not having access to a copy of British Warships in the Age of Sail 1714-1792 I need to put out a call for help. Mostly I'm looking for gundeck length, breadth, burthen, armament and its distribution, and any commentary about designers or ships of related design, along with which ones actually joined the Royal Navy battle-line as opposed to just being hulked or used as base-ships--for example, San Juan Nepomuceno->HMS San Juan may have been taken and sailed to Gibraltar, but as far as I can find she never left that harbor again until heading for the breakers.

    Ships that I need info on that I think might be found in there...
