Lively class frigate

Lively class frigate

The "Lively" class sailing frigates were a series of sixteen ships built to a 1799 design by Sir William Rule, which served in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars.

They were considered the most successful British frigate design of the period, much prized by the Navy Board; after the prototype was launched in 1804 (when three more had already been ordered to the same design), a dozen more sister-ships were ordered to her design, although slightly modified (in 1805) to have the gangways between forecastle and quarterdeck more integrated into the upperworks, a step towards the final enclosure of the waist.
