A "Fragata Siglo XVIII" was a type of frigate, a warship, from the 18th century. This vessel was known for its speed and maneuverability and was common in navies such as the Spanish and British during that period.
British Frigates:
The British employed larger "heavy" frigates in the late 1770s that carried more powerful guns.
Spanish Frigates:
Spain, like other major naval powers, used frigates extensively during this period. A type of ship called the "Fragata Espanola Ano 1780" is located in the City of San Diego Digital Archives and commemorates the role of Spanish frigates in naval history, including battles such as Cape St. Vincent.
