It's a beautiful ship. I'm impressed. Not only is it an actual merchant ship (they tend to be too rare, since most ships are pirate or military), it's very, very pleasing to the eye. Details like the gold decoration on the sterncastle, the doors and (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.pirates, FTX)
