I'm starting to think about a figurehead for the Discovery1789. I've done a lot of surfing and as near as I can figure for this period it would be a lion or a female figure of some sort. The Discovery was probably a merchantman purchased by the Navy when she was almost finished and the Navy raised the quarterdeck and the foredeck, but I have no idea if the figurehead was already in place or if the Navy got to choose it. Anything I found on the net is rather vague about time periods. Is there a figurehead expert out there that could help steer my choice a bit?
