ship types

Hehe... IE the page the incorrect link sent you too earlier.

Wyoming, nice example. It's special because it had a wooden hull unlike the steel hull of the (slightly) longer Lawson. Oh and here's a picture: www.mainememory.net/bin/Detail?ln=8863

Hehe... the Royal Clipper, nice example of a modern 5 master. The Lawson and Wyoming were both longer. The Clipper's press bite is only talking about sailing ships currently afloat. Both the Lawson and the Wyoming were lost in stormy weather.

Hmm... This is interesting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_ship

Apparently the 10 masted junks are actually pretty close to the enormous size of what the Chinese emperors had actually built.

I tried looking for ships with more than 10 masts, but didn't find any.
IE the page? What do you mean? Internet Explorer the page? If you mean that you sent me to the namesake of the ship, I already knew that.

0: flotilla
1: triangle masted normal ships, turtle ships, galleys
2: schooners, sharks, normal ships, junks, galley, blockade runner, catamaran
3: schooners, normal ships, junks, windcatcher, double catamaran

FYI, the very last page of the Pirate Code has a full list of every single ship type that has ever appeared in the game.

(was beating a dead horse)

The thing about the junks is refering to how the size got slightly exxagerated for the sets but not really that much.

Thanks, Woelf.
