A Dainish 70 gunner in 1780 cost 187,000 reichsguilder or 3,000 man-years
of
for an ordinary sailor including guns and sails.

A Danish 90-gunner in 1790 cost 212,700 reichsguilder or about 3,500
man-years
for an ordinary sailor including sails and bronze guns.


NB! The 292.700 riksdaler for the 90 is for the bronze guns _only_, hull and
rigging coming on top of that! The total cost for an eighty-gun ship on the
other hand, including hull, guns and rigging, was 390.152, bronze guns
included. For the record, the 90 would cost 410.382 riksdaler, all told.

The numbers above were drawn up in the same document, ca 1780.
