Although ''Worcester'' is an imaginary ship (the real ''Worcester'' of the period was an ancient 64 which had not been fit for seagoing duty since 1788), she belongs to a historically authentic class. In 1806 the [[Admiralty]] began to order 74-gun ships based on the lines of HMS ''Courageux'', a ship captured from the French in 1761; with a [[gundeck]] length of 172 feet (52.4 metres), these ships were some four feet longer than the standard English 74.

'I do not like to sound discontented neither', said Pullings, 'nor to crab any ship I belong to; but between you and me, Doctor, between you and me, she is more what we call a floating coffin than a ship. And as for the damp, what do you expect? She was built in Sankey's yard, one of the Forty Thieves: twenty-year-old wood and green stuff with the sap in it all clapped together promiscuous and fastened with copper - precious little copper - and then overmasted to please the landsmen's fancy . . .
