An 18th-century frigate typically had three masts, with a total of around 15 to 20 sails, depending on its size and design. The sails included square sails on the fore and main masts, and a spanker or gaff sail on the mizzen mast. The exact number could vary based on the ship's configuration and intended use. Frigates were designed for speed and maneuverability, which influenced their sail plans.
In the 18th century, the British often transported their prisoners to penal colonies, particularly in Australia and North America, as a means of punishment and to alleviate overcrowded jails. Convicts were typically sentenced to a period of servitude, during which they worked on public projects or in agriculture. This practice not only served as a deterrent for crime but also helped to establish and populate new settlements in the colonies. After serving their sentences, many prisoners were granted land and the opportunity to start anew.
The capacity of an 18th-century ship varied significantly depending on its size and purpose. A small merchant vessel could carry around 50 to 100 men, while larger ships, such as frigates or ships of the line, could accommodate 300 to over 1,000 crew members and soldiers. Factors like the ship's design, cargo requirements, and the specific mission would also influence the number of men it could carry.

In the 18th century, sailors' pay varied widely depending on their role, experience, and the type of ship. For example, a common sailor might earn between £5 to £8 per month, while experienced seamen or those in specialized roles could earn more, sometimes up to £12 per month or higher. Additionally, sailors often received prize money from captured enemy ships, which could significantly boost their income. Wages were usually paid in a mix of cash and provisions, and many sailors faced delays in payment.
