In the spirit of posting more MOCs, here is the Revenge...



With the arrival of the Misérable in Port Brique, the French Squadron found itself with a shortage of manpower and a surplus of vessels. A simple solution was proposed - dispose of one of the Chase Maries - either the Azelma or the Cosette - and redeploy the crew to the new 28 gun frigate.

The colour scheme of the Azelma was deemed least complementary to the rest of the squadron, so it was sold off. The purchaser was one Jane Hookhand, who promptly renamed it ‘Revenge’, re-crewed it in such a way as to take advantage of the disabled berthing spaces in Port Brique, and reflagged it (and re-figureheaded it) in such a way that made the French Squadron think that the sale may not have been such a clever move after all.

The Revenge is armed with a pair of 18 pounders on the gun deck, and several deck guns.

She is a fast vessel, able to outrun most of the vessels of Port Brique in light winds. Or she could, when the shipment of sailcloth arrives ;-)

(And in other Port Brique news, a forgotten stash of sailcloth was found... HMLBrig Demand now boasts a suit five Carribean Clipper sails - and is now waiting on only a gaffsail and gaff tops’l from the sailmakers. Pics to come, sooner or later.)

(...) nice small ship! you have a few of them, but i kinda like the color scheme here the best. i do not have a talent for building smaller vessels, but someday maybe. i like the story behind the sale of the vessel, i am having the same difficulty (...)
