Ships,

being a list of common vessels of the era, their capacities, armament, and rig.
Ships Included in this Chapter

ships pumps, and the maximum rate of water pumped.

Gunners
This section includes entries for each artillery battery on the ship.
Number of Gunners

Record the number of gunners assigned to each battery.

Number of Gunners/Number of Guns firing each Turn:

The number of gunners assigned to each battery determines the number of guns which can
fire each turn. If the number of guns is 1/2, that means one gun will fire every other turn.
If it is 1/3, then one gun will fire every third turn, and so on. If less than the minimum
number of gunners for the battery are currently assigned, then no guns will fire at all.
Soldiers
To keep track of a ships complement of soldiers, use a Military Unit roster from the Mass
Battles chapter.

Crew Stats
This sidebar contains fields for keeping track
of the NPC crews experience, hit points,
attack bonuses, saves, ability scores, AC,
skills, and feats. For information about hiring,
training, and improving crews, see the
Captains and Crews chapter.

136 Ships
Description
The beamy, flat-bottomed Nederlander fluyt is
a cheaply produced, versatile cargo ship. Her
cargo capacity is as much as 50% higher than
other ships her size. Using innovations in
block and tackle control of her sails and yards,
the fluyt can be crewed by a small number of
deck hands, in order to save on space and
manpower.

138 Ships
Description
The east indiaman is the largest merchant vessel of the era. It is used by the Nederlanders
and other powers to carry cargo between
Europa and Asia. Although designed to carry
a large crew and heavy armament, in practice
these vessels seldom carry sufficient crew to
fully man their artillery, because of the
expense involved.

Description
Galleys were the dominant warship in the
Mediterranean from ancient times through the
17th Century. They relied on ram-and-board
tactics, having little room for artillery. Crewed
by either free men or captives, they had up to
three banks of oars, and a single lateen sail
which could be deployed in favorable winds.

144 Ships
Description
The galleasse is a compromise between a galley and a sailing ship. It was designed to be
more adept at long ocean-journeys than the
galley, while still retaining the galleys excellent maneuverability in battle. In practice, the
galleasse was neither a good sailing vessel nor
an effective galley -- the four galleasses among
the Armada in 1588, for example, had no
effect on the outcome of the battle. The galleasse concept was revived at the end of the 17th
Century, in Captain Kidds notorious
Adventure Galley and one or two others.

148 Ships
Description
This ship type is loosely based on the ill-fated
Swedish warship Vasa, the largest of her day.
This ship is built for boarding actions, with a
high aft castle and plenty of room for soldiers.
Her high profile makes her tricky to sail.

152 Ships
Description
The sloop is a small, fast ship that carries an
enormous area of sail for her size. Her most
distinctive feature is her 50-foot bowsprit, jutting like a narwhals tusk from her prow. She
is fitted with a fore-and-aft rig, rather than
square sails, giving her a 270 sailing arc,
allowing her to sail as close as 45 to the
wind. Sloops are favored by couriers, smugglers and pirates.
