Four 32-gun Fifth Rates were ordered in early 1693 (the Navy Board estimating the cost for building the first two at �4,455 - or about �6-5-0d per ton), this time with three of the quartet being built by contract. The contract with Ellis (the first of this type to be contracted out) was confirmed 21.3.1693. The contract for the Winchelsea was originally signed with William Wyatt, but he died in June 1693 and the building was instead supervised by his widow. Both Scarborough, renamed Milford after her recapture and Winchelsea were re-rated as 36 guns under the 1703 Establishment of Guns
