Notable Ships
- Constitution - American, 5-mast, 22 points. Ability: Two hits from the same shoot action are required to eliminate one of this ship's masts. A good battleship with an excellent ability, it is one of the better ships in the game.
- HMS Dreadnought - British, 5-mast, 26 points. Aside from the Baochuan and the Guichuan, this is the most expensive ship in the game. It is a five mast ship with cannons that cannot be eliminated unless no masts remain, thus making it a threat until it sinks.
- La Santa Isabel - Spanish, 4-mast, 13 points. This ship is able to add 2 gold points to any one treasure when dropped off at the home island.
- Black Swan - Pirate, 5-mast, 13 points. This ship can carry any crew and be able to use their abilities which can be useful when trying to come up with a strategy. Definitely a battle ship because of less cargo capacity than number of masts.
- Neptune's Hoard - Pirate, 4-mast, 12 points. This versatile ship can serve as either a moderately armed gunship or a heavily armed treasure runner with her 5 cargo. Her ability to switch treasure is quite handy. A popular combination is to put Captain Blackheart in command with a helmsman and several oarsmen or explorers. This ship is a favorite in treasure running fleets but can still pack a punch if the enemy chooses to engage.
- Banshee's Cry - Pirate, 1-mast, 3 points. Popular due mostly to her 3 points, the Banshee's Cry can serve quite well as a treasure runner. Paired with Jonah, she can take on a sizable crew with her 4 cargo. If Don Pedro Gilbert takes command with an oarsman and explorer, the Banshee's Cry can be sent out very efficiently.
- Le Superbe - French, 5-mast, 16 points. This ship can shoot over other ships which can be used in order to create a tactical advantage for the player of this ship. The cannons are reasonably good so this ship would make a good battleship.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or ships:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Shuttles in the rocking loom of history,
the dark ships move, the dark ships move,
their bright ironical names
like jests of kindness on a murderer’s mouth;”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
