A brig is a vessel with two masts. Brigs were very popular in the 18th and early 19th century, due to their speed and maneuverability. Both masts were square-rigged. Brigs were used as merchant ships and, with 10 to 18 cannon, as ships of war. . Ship model English brig DUKE OF BEDFORD of 1750. More info on the type about “Duke of Bedford”is welcome.
