The crew are dressed courtesy of PoserWorld, they have a decent range of late 18th century and early 19th century clothing there. The boat, however, is based upon a Baltic Sea gun-lugger. A popular design for over a hundred years. Very shallow draft, quite fast and manouverable but rather limited in having its one and only gun pointing in a restricted traverse over the stern. They were used, mainly, as patrol crafts for customs and excise duties, or as harrassing vessels in a fleet action (being samll and fast and therefore hard to hit.)
