james_harvey Posted 14 March , 2008 Share Posted 14 March , 2008 Hi I have a service record which states Woolwich (Sloops). I have searched and i cannot find sloops listed, I have searched for Hoops Hoots etc The only reasonable match i can make is Moose, but i do not think this is right as the end letter looks like a s. If i can get my scanner to work i will scan a copy in and post it. Does anyone else have any ideas? Kind Regards James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARABIS Posted 14 March , 2008 Share Posted 14 March , 2008 Hi James, Woolwich was a depot ship & [sloops] is more likely to be a generic term used for smaller ships which she serviced. There were different types of sloops, e.g., Flower Class, 24 Class, Kil Class, etc. Regards, ARABIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
