This is a drawing of a Paranzello
similar to the
Annunziata.
The figure may be a bit large.
Trying to find another image of Paranzello,
as there are different versions for fishing and transport.
I Have to honest with you. I admit that I do not really have a clue when it comes to sailing boats or ships. I have been aboard a number of them, like Old Ironsides, and I have been on Feluccas in the Nile river. But when I look at three different pictures of a boat, it has the same sail arrangement and they all have different names, I am stumped. Of course you have to take into account the hull shape, the rigging and the angle of the masts etc.. But when I am looking at a series of nineteenth century engravings, I get pretty lost. A Bilancella for instance can be 9-12 meters long, or as long as 20 meters when used for cargo. This and other drawings I will post are the best approximation I can come up with. They will just give you an idea.
