Ability: This ship may never load the last treasure
from an island.
The Longshanks has always been one of my favorite
Pirate ships. She gives surprising value for only
six points.
She has all the speed a ship will ever need, and
three adequate cannons, plus enough room in her
cargo holds to pay for herself in one gold run.
Her negative ability might hold her back here (and
is probably the reason for her low price). But why
plan to run gold at all? Just put a Captain on her,
and you've got a fast, effective support fighter
(with room for a little treasure if opportunity
knocks) for a single-digit price tag. She's served
me well in multiple battles. Very few three-masters
cost this little, and I don't think any give such
fine value.
