Alex Connor Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I really like this schooner... Within period (just), anyone an expert on schooners to say if a vessel like this might have been found earlier than 1819? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Masterviolin Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 One hell of a trade ship, eh She's got cannon stuffed in any available space on her deck, and appears to have a pretty nice hold. If she's a thing, she will be popular- something that can counter the Privateer whilst having the hold and rig to trade all over the place. I would gladly use this ship for any trade endeavors I embark on xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 As a packet, she would often be carrying sensitive documents in the mail, important passengers, and large amounts of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Feathersword Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Packet ship. I love that ship I am pretty keen on seeing Packet ships and maybe even early clippers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Masterviolin Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Well, I think the Lynx and Privateers are Baltimore clippers- perhaps a merchant version of these might pop up. I would assume a merchant vessel version of a Baltimore clipper would be a bit larger to balance out against the Lynx at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdr.ODon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I think vessels like HM Bark Endeavour; HMS Bounty; Vancouver's Discovery and Cook's Resolution should definitely be included, as some of the most effective merchant vessels; with high cargo capacity, but without sacrificing armament.

Cdr.ODon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Here are some East Indiamen. These could be the ultimate merchant vessels in the game, as some can carry a lot of cargo and are armed on par with some men of war.

LeBoiteux Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Post any armed or unarmed small-medium size ship plans that can be used to transport goods. I guess there's no need to post here trade ship plans that have already been mentioned and collected in the thread "List of ships and plans presented so far". Right ?

Zeekoning Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) The Meermin was one of the many VOC hoeker type cargo ships. It was laid down it 1759 and was built out of oak. Its rounded stern, while more resistant to warping and springing than square sterns, would also add variety.

Zeekoning Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) You might already be aware of this, but the ship is the Meermin and not the Mutiny. You might have interpreted it that way because the fist two words of the video's title Slaveship Mutiny - Meermin Turntable, suggests that; however, it is referring to a mutiny aboard the ship and not the ship itself. Edit: Issue has been corrected. Edited June 9, 2015 by Zeekoning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IonAguirre Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Its quite interesting how Spanish, English and French ships evolve to deep hull designs approaching a V shaped hull, while Nord sea ships follow the counter tendency, making bottoms more and more flat. Those nothern seas around the Channel and Baltic sea have many shallow waters areas and lots of channels, while European atlantic shores are mostly formed by cliffs, stepped sea floors and deep waters. Ships design is like Nature, in the same sence than animals which addapt to their environment. Edited June 17, 2015 by IonAguirre 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart Smith Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Spanish Merchant Frigate Frigate belonging to the Real Compañía Guipuzcoana de Caracas. Merchant frigates from Gipuzkoa were the key to the success of this trading company. They consolidated the transatlantic transport and economy of the province at a time when pirates, privateers or enemy fleets were the scourge of transoceanic trade. The swift Gipuzkoan frigates proved their worth against enemies and rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
