Enterprise (frigate)

The Enterprise was an 18th century Human naval frigate.

Crewman had another reproduction of the drawing in his quarters. ()

=== Background information ===
Archer's drawing was drawn by Star Trek illustrator and designer John Eaves. It was an almost exact copy of a photo of the US Navy frigate ("Old Ironsides") stationed in Boston. 
According to Star Trek: The Next Generation - On Board the USS Enterprise (p. 8), this Enterprise was a British sloop formerly named George. This ship was captured and retrofitted into a warship by the Americans in 1775. 
As a matter of fact, another British vessel, the ten-gun tender HMS Enterprize (1775), had also been captured by the Americans in the same year, therefore becoming a second candidate for the depicted ships.
