For more info on the nature of the pirate ship this book is the one to have. Tis full of all sorts of nautical mumbo jumbo. If Capt. Fyre wishes plunder it off me then I will surrender it for a time.
My ship called the Induna, this is Zulu for headman, leader, topdog, etc, is a smaller vessel than Teach's Queen Anne's Revenge. When I aquired it the ship was a 3 masted frigate of 24 guns. We refit her with an additional series of guns to bring her total armament to 34 guns that breaks down as follows:
22 16-pounders on the gun deck
10 8-pounders on the weather deck
2 8-pounder chase guns in the forcastle
Our refit also included the ripping out of all the bulkheads below deck save for the great cabin in the stern. We then repurposed the timber to build more bracing below the gun deck to support more guns. We also crafdted a strong box to hold the goods we acquired on our voyages.
The blulkheads of the quarter deck were removed as was the bulkheads of the forcastle. This gave us shelter from the rains, and grape shot, but also allowed free access to the guns on the weather deck. We also enalarged the scuppers and torn down the railings, replacing them with solid planks.
Currently our crew cosists of 225 souls.
Our vessel displaces God only knows, but I think roughly 250 tonnes.
