Jib Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Of the current tall ships that are in operation on the rivers, lakes and seas, which ones would/ could have been seen during the Golden Age of Piracy? I thinking along the lines of the Lady Washington (although I'm not certain she is designed to exhibit the GOAP time frame). Most of the tall ships I have encountered tend to be designed to appear closer the the Napoleonic times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Jack Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) The little Adventure ketch in at Charles Towne Landing in Charleston, SC is a replica of a1690s small, slow trading vessel It is amazingly accurate and actually does float on the waters of the Ashley River, though moored for tourist visits. This is more pirate prey than predator, as it would be VERY slow and is more designed to be easy to handle by a small crew on trips between Charleston and Barbados or Charleston and other American colonial cities.

Capt. Sterling Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Pictures ha! Ask JollyJack Tar for links to the videos of the Adventure! The ones he showed me were awesome. He worked on her before heading west for a short spell.

Jib Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 I thought about the Royaliste but I think that ship is more designed to fit into the time frame of the War of 1812 (but it is a BEAUTIFUL SHIP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
