Aye lads! After some diggin' through some old threads I was able to uncover this little beauty of a treasure. Let's see your ships mates!

Why your Ship/Vessel is best: Aye! The best pirate ship is a stolen one! I stole me ship a long while back after a bout with some Brits. She's done me well since and sent many an unworthy Cap'n to the bottom o' the sea.
