Tall Ship 1743

On the 20th of this month, I reported that a film crew were taking over Dysart Harbour for an American TV Series (Outlander).
Today, a tall ship arrived offshore to take part as probably the most substantial prop on site. We fully expected it to dock but it stayed firmly anchored offshore.
There were a number of disappointed photographers from the local club left waiting on the jetty.

I apologise if this looks somewhat similar to yesterday's image but this one takes you all the way back to 1743.

I have no idea what this vessel is called as it has had its name obliterated for filming and it doesn't show up on Ship AIS or Marine Traffic.

I have now discovered the following:
The ship was known as Santa Maria until 1996 when, due to increasing demand for period square-riggers, she was converted into the two-masted 18th Century Brig she is today, and reverted to her
original name ‘Phoenix of Dell Quay’.
