Hello ,
As i've said in my topic posted in "suggestions" forum : http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/6801-put-some-ships-from-16th-and-17th-centuries/
It would be nice to add some ships from 16th and 17th centuries, to enable players to play ships like galeons, which were famous ships from the beginning of the age of sail.
That's why i present the following ship : Neptune , replica of a former spanish galeon .
Info :
Name: Il Galeone Neptune
Builder: Port El Kantaoui, Tunisia
Launched: 1986
Homeport:
Genoa, Italy
General characteristics
Tonnage: 1500 tons
Length: 65 m Beam: 16.40 m
Draft: 2.2 m
Propulsion: Full-rigged ship
Speed: 5 knots (9.3 km/h; 5.8 mph)
I have chosen this ship for it well represents the line of a galeon of the 17th century, even it's a replica.
Here there a photo of the ship.

It would be nice to add also a famous galeon of an explorer of the 16th century.
