| Reverse description | A frigate under sail proceeding to the right, flying a straight rectangular pennant from the mainmast. No square hollow is present adjacent to the mast, and the junction points of the guys at the mainmast bear no balls, while those at the other masts are rendered as small balls. A short spike projects from the stern, and the afterbrace of the mizzenmast is joined to the flagstaff. The ensign at the stern droops slightly. This variety is closely related to BL-24A but is distinguished by the specific rigging and pennant details described. No legend appears in the field or exergue. |
