The Ranger was one of the typical American cutters built in the first half of the 19th century and basically used for surveillance and coastguard duties.
It was armed with a large carronade installed in the centre of the deck that rotated on a circular guideway, permitting rapid fire from both sides of the hull with a single weapon.
Note the particular elegant line of the Ranger, emphasised by the depth of the keel at the stern.
