These vessels were built at the expense of the Duke of Buckingham rather than as King's Ships. Construction was overseen by Capt. John Pennington, whose accounts show they cost nearly £7,000. In spite of their small size, these were built along the lines of Dutch cromsters. They had two decks and a round house, and were three-masted and square-rigged, but fitted with sweeps.
