Well I’ve saved this post to last, as rightly or wrongly, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Port Brique –– now especially that British ships are putting into harbor.

And what marvelous little ships, too -- Demand is incredible, I must say! What ship did you pattern her on? Looks very British indeed... at this late hour the quality can best be described as ineffible –– it just smacks of Royal Navy character.

Revenge is a fantastic little ship too, though I am rather concerned that Port Brique is selling its splendid ships to known pirates... :-)

Then again, I’ve built schooners for privateers... and now I’m in the middle of building an outport town-fort for them...

Port Brique remains a leader in ship building. One is left to ask ‘what next?’ and wait expectantly!

Great stuff, as ever.

Best,
