Out of range of what, exactly? Port Brique has mortars and long guns too.
And if a ketch is bobbing about off the coast lobbing shells at the Port,
it's a relativeling easy matter to dispatch a ship or two to teach it a
lesson ;-)

If you've got vessels that small, what do intend raiding Port Brique for?
You're not going to carry off much in bathtubs with sails! ;-)

For every tricolour you burn, another two will be raised in it's place! Vive
la Port Brique!!

Well, there are only so many colours to choose from (and so many dyes).

'Commodore Lord Sir'? Is that possible? In any case, a 'Commodore Lord Sir'
deserves a decent ship (you know, three masts, lots of cannon, decent
freeboard)! ;-)
