Speed in Knots:Copper Used (for HMY Mary):Builder's Old Measurement (BOM or bm) is the method used in England from approximately 1650 to 1849 for calculating the cargo capacity of a ship. It is a volumetric measurement of cubic capacity. It estimated the tonnage of a ship based on length and maximum beam. It is expressed in "tons burden" (Early Modern English: burthen, Middle English: byrthen ), and abbreviated "tons bm".
The formula is:
where:
Length is the length, in feet, from the stem to the sternpost;
Beam is the maximum beam, in feet.
Game ModelingPreliminary, but would consider this:
HMY_Royal_Escape: transport only
HMS_Merlin_(1666): attack only
HMY_Mary: attack + transport
