Ahoy!
At last, a British vessel of note in the waters of Port Brique!!
Sailing into Port Brique harbour late one April morning in 1803, the
sloop-of-war Intractable under the command of Commander Reginald
Stalwart-Hope was a fine sight.
Locals commented that it would have been a much finer sight if the
shipspotters hadn't recently witnessed the arrival of the Misérable... but
still, any three-master is worthy of comment.
A quick pic of the HMLS Intractable is here:

Or you can read a bit more about this vessel here:

Of course, the ship builders of Port Brique have been looking with interest
at this sloop. More vessels, though not quite the size of the Intractable
(let alone the Misérable!) can be expected in the next few weeks.
Cheers
