 The speed at which William Forbes and his workers transported the frames of Frigate B to Kingston earned him a £1,000 bonus.Master Shipwright Thomas Strickland had been sent from Great Britain to take control of the construction project.With Sir James Yeo and Point Frederick yard commissioner Robert Hall, Strickland re-designed Frigate B, completely planking the upper deck, creating a spar deck which allowed an increase of armament from 38 to 56 guns.
