This week, we'll look at some Spanish ships, for no
particular reason.
We'll lead off with a true rarity, a ship from later
than Barbary Coast with a good turn of speed.
The San Pedro is clearly meant for the gold game; if
her speed and cargo don't convince you, her ability
should. She can also serve a supporting role,
receiving gold from other ships and using her
ability to run up their value. And with three
average cannons, you could even use her as a support
fighter, although Spain has better ships for that
role.
This ship is practically a clone of an older ship,
El Alquimista; the only difference is that the older
ship has a 3L cannon on the mainmast.
It's hard to find a fast ship in the newer releases,
never mind a fast ship that's good and useful. The
San Pedro is a fine gold ship and a good value;
Spanish admirals should definitely give her a try.
