Gold ships need speed, cargo, and a low price tag. Le Bon Marin has all three, and then some. My adversaries use her a lot. We sing, "Bon bon bon, bon bon Marin" (to the tune of "Barbara Ann") when she sets forth.

Explorers are one of the two crew a gold ship will ever need (Helmsmen are the other). But you hate to use up a cargo space for an Explorer; you want those cargo spaces for gold! This ship takes care of that little problem by having an Explorer built-in. Le Bon Marin can skip across the waves, load up the instant she touches a wild island, and race home again. Only one other ship, USS Annapolis, can do this, and the Annapolis is slower (but otherwise identical).

You'd expect a six-point ship to be deficient in some critical area. Le Bon Marin has no flaws, except for her one bad cannon, and she wasn't built to fight anyway. She was built to be one of the best gold ships in the game, and that's exactly what she is.

Total rating: 5 / 5
Sumpbeast Le Bon Marin

Le Bon Marin is a nice little ship. The single mast is a liability but the good speed (S+L) and excellent cargo (4) for her size are great bonuses. A built in explorer is a fine ability on this treasure runner. The cannon is below average, but if you are shooting with Le Bon Marin she is already in trouble. Le Bon Marin is built for treasure running and I like the single mindedness of this little ship. Le Bon Marin gets 4/5.
