How many sailors served on a typical ship of the line?

A typical ship of the line, which served as the backbone of major navies from the mid-17th to the mid-19th century, generally carried a crew of 600 to 800 men.1

These vessels were defined by their role in line-of-battle warfare, where they were organized into columns to maximize the effectiveness of their broadside weaponry. While crew sizes were substantial to manage the complex rigging and the operation of heavy guns across multiple decks, the exact number of sailors could vary depending on the ship's specific rate and size.21
