Use the site search. Unity (4), a horseboat is listed, launched Aug. 1665, sold 1712.

I am trying to find the name and details of a Gally (sic) or a Hoy built by Mr Phineas Pett at Chatham in 1665.

Dimensions are length 50: 0, Breadth 16:0, Depth 7:6, draught of water 6:0 Tonns 51.

The name is Unity Horseb't, but what is the unabbreviated last bit of the name?
Any help find information on this boat would be gratefully received
