The Blackwall Frigate may be said to represent the highest standard of wood-built passenger ships, and True Briton is perhaps one of the best remembered of her class.

She was a ship of 1,046 tons, built in Wigram’s Blackwall Yard in 1961, for their own service.  The drawings show the original rig.  In later years she was given double-topsails.
