Here i will give a discription and give background information on my ships.

De Zeven Provincien 

My lost ship,a Dutch warship wich i captained during my time as a Captain in the employment of the V.O.C. 

'' I lost her when i went overboard during a storm enroute to the Dutch East Indies for my promotion to Captain. ''

''My deepest desire is to get her back and once again take hold of her helm. ''

''If and when i do so she will no longer fly the V.O.C. banner...But my Jolly Roger. ''

                                                    The Shadow Brigand 

''The Shadow Brigand is my Flagship,a War Frigate i bought it at a shipwright on Tortuga. ''

''When i bought her i had to do some work on her. ''

First of all i had to file the old name off the back of the ship ( seems her previous owner ran out of luck ) 

''then i had to pitch some holes in her deck where woodworms had obviously been feasting on. ''

''And then she was finally ready to set sail. ''

''She is my preferred ship because she is big and has many cannons but is still quite fast and agile for her size. ''

                                                         The Dark Revenge 

''This mammoth vessel is a floating stronghold. ''

''Being a War Galleon she is not fast and turning takes time,but her thick hull makes her a ship that can withstand all but the deadliest of broadsides. ''

''Her thick and high placed deck granted her a huge cargo hold. ''

'This fact has made her ideal for long raids on ships.'

''The name of this vessel hints at the fact that i wish and one day will have my revenge on that dreaded scoundrel Jolly Roger. ''

                                                          The Blade Raider 

The Blade Raider is not fit for long and heavy combat,neither can she carry loads of cargo.( due to being a War Sloop ) 

''Then whats her purpose? Well getting my across the caribbean fast. ''

''Thanks to her light armament and minimal hull armor this ship shoots trough the water like an arrow trough the sky. ''

''Very few ships can keep up with her,some exeptions being:The Black Pearl,The HMS Interceptor,The Flying Dutchman and those dreaded Bounty Hunters. ''
