Hi all,
I am a beginner here so I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, if not pls. feel free to move it.
I am researching on a ship called "Santisima Trinidad". This is not the first rate but a Manila galleon built in 1751.
My question is how must she have looked like?
One website I saw describes this image (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRLtI7JjQUNdo1mUoI5vyqIp8zDa-ZqLp5Osw&usqp=CAU) as being the plans for the ship.
To me the ship looked more like what I know of a fourth rate than what I know of a Spanish galleon.
But I'm inclined to believe the image, for another Manila galleon built in the same century, Nuestra Señora del Pilar, looked like that: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTfNwNIGeoits4aLS5-7Ulil_t5Z-VmIZOkCg&usqp=CAU
Should it look like that, or be of the more conventional "Spanish galleon" look with the "raised stern"? https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSeYj6pILnrypN4VailT6UuTJpBOzh3CzZLQA&usqp=CAU
Would be interested to hear from you. Thanks!
