Google gives a long line of HMS Devonshire s of which this seems the most likely *HMS Devonshire* was a 74-gun third rate<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_rate> ship of the line <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_the_line> of the Royal Navy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Navy>, launched on 23 September 1812 at Deptford <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deptford> and broken up in 1869. However, there are also loads of MN ships, some full rigged, some half-sail, some fully SS. Do the uniforms indicate a RN or MN training ship ? Is she clearly 'just' a sailing ship ?
