Due to the lack of accurate historical data on the ship itself, many aspects are based upon design, or speculated design, and not necessarily, on what was in fact built or placed upon the ship. The replica H.M.S. Detroit will not assume any of her former roles as sailing ships no longer go to war, nor are they capable of hauling freight commercially.
