Used for charters and at the various bicentennial Trafalgar celebrations in the UK. based at Conwy Wales. The original was a 'topsail schooner'. Pickle was at the Battle of Trafalgar, and though she was too small to take part in the fighting, Pickle was the first ship to bring the news of Nelson's victory to Great Britain.

Originally with six guns later with 8 12-pounder carronades; which precludes any brig sloop consideration as those (2) types had far greater firepower.

of the Cruizer class (18 guns) and the Cherokee class (10 guns). The brig rig was economical of manpower (important given Britain's chronic shortfall in trained seamen relative to the demands of the wartime fleet) and when armed with carronades (32-pounders in the Cruizers, 18-pounders in the Cherokees) they had the highest ratio of firepower to tonnage of any ships in the Royal Navy
