Well, (it took me several times to perfect, but have no pictures. ) i created a
duel masted-lateen rigged galley with two bowchasers. however, i had to give up
the design after a while, and have transferred Hornblock to the atlantic South
American patrol, so as to avoid the galleys. (now, all he has to deal with is
large old floating archer ships.....with fire cannons!)

I say those were some of the best of it. the veried crew was a good plus, too!
(i only had town figs to put in my galley...i think its a time transport or
something..) so good job! and where did you get all the oars?

Commander of HMS Goldfinch, Horatio Hornblock.
