This memorandum, already turning yellow with age, was made in 1816, at the time Lady Urmston came home in the _Essex_, and with the aid of existing pictures of East Indiamen it would not be impossible to reconstruct a model on fairly accurate lines. It will be seen that she was able to set twenty-seven sails on her foremast, twenty-one on her mainmast, and seventeen on her mizzen: total sixty-five. It is interesting as showing that at least one of these Indiamen was a real sail-carrier. She was commanded by Captain Nisbett. ON THE FOREMAST 26. ON THE MAINMAST 21. ON THE MIZZENMAST 17.
