here are some possibilities: schooner,brig,brigantine,junk,east india trader ship,fluyt,carrack,pinnace. these are all ship types used by pirates so it could easy be any of these and if i would choose i hope on the east india man ( should be similar to the pearl ) the fluyt ( cause im dutch ) and the brig or brigantine cause they are fast and bigger than a sloop
