The average age of ships for which we have age and tonnage data is 6.1 years (n=37), whereas the average age of ships for which we have age data accurate to the year for which we have no tonnage data is 7.1 years (n=41).

Dr Ian Friel has shared with us [https://twitter.com/DrIanFriel/status/884360083634892800 a summary of data from his unpublished survey of High Court of Admiralty documents from the 1580s]. His data are for a period forty to eighty years earlier than our own High Court of Admiralty data. Ian's survey found ages for thirty-nine ships, with an average age of nearly fifteen years and twenty-nine of them of ten years or more in age.
