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! ;-)

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)! ;-)
