Martin Frobisher sailed primarily in "barques". These were 20-25 tonne vessels with a rounded hull shape. They were reasonable for his purposes and easy to staff with less than 20 crew. The Gabriel and Michael were of this type. The Pinnace, to which the earlier responder likely referred, is a small narrow vessel designed for navigating tight passages with a crew of five or fewer. It is very like a rowboat in many regards but has a single mast which may be erected or lowered as needed.

In his second voyage the Aid was added to the growing adventure fleet. The Aid was one of the queens ships of the line and as such was much larger and had a much sleeker design.

In his third voyage he commanded a fleet of independent vessels of various designs, though again his personal command was over the Aid.
