Pirate ships could be almost any floating thing for pirates in the 17th and 18th centuries, but the most desirable pirate ships were swift, well-armed, and nimble enough to evade counterattack. With the exception of certain ports in New England , there was no place to see a 'pirate ship' already built and waiting for your custom Jolly Roger flag. Although some were previously paid for or later paid off, the best pirate ships were the ones most easily available. This usually meant stealing a ship or boat and customizing it: Space was hard to come by on a pirate ship , because so many more men were needed both to fight with superior forces and to sail any vessel taken in battle. Pirate ships could start off in great condition, but regular maintenance was vital to keep them in shape. In some remote cove or river inlet, the vessel would be run aground in a way that would leave the hull exposed at low tide, prepared for careening. After pulling the ship over for optimum exposure to the cleaning routine, it was scraped clean of all barnacles, weeds, mold, and any other extras which increased drag. Any planks were replaced which were too damaged from teredo worms, rot, battle wounds, or age, and the renewed hull was then coated with a layer of sulfur, tar, and tallow to help slow down any sea beasties which would destroy the ship. Although usually rigged for a larger fore-and-aft mainsail, it could easily be altered for various sail combinations. The huge bowsprit also added more canvas area for more maneuverability. Thirty to sixty feet long with a top speed of over 10 knots, a crew of 20 to 70 men could easily work this father of the modern sailing yacht for lightning-swift attacks, avoiding broadsides, and outrunning pursuit. In spite of weighing as much as tons and having perhaps 15 cannons, its draft was amazingly shallow at eight feet. A shallow draft was also was the reason that those entrusted to pursue pirate ships often favored the sloop to get access to their hiding spots. Schooners- The two-masted schooner was another of the favored pirate ships in the Caribbean and Atlantic. This meant it could easily take a large haul and man crew further inland to hide or to divide the booty, but a smaller hold stored fewer spoils. It was prized in the Mediterranean, where its earlier versions sometimes included oars that were better for diminished winds. Heavier, longer, and roomier than the smaller sloops and schooners, it was usually first choice for prolonged battles instead of quick hits. Adequate firepower and a larger hold meant the versatile pirate ship also saw widespread use as a trade ship. With their large square sails hanging from arms on the three masts, these would be rightly called ships, or merchant ships, for those outside of Naval use. Pirates knew merchant ships were fairly slow, full of valuable goods, and under-gunned because of skinflint owners. For crossing large bodies of water, a few versions may have been fairly swift for their size, but that size meant they were not agile - they could not turn on a dime Owners and captains would try to compensate with more cannons, traveling in convoys, and military escorts. Faster- The Merchant Carrier was a ton, foot- long variety with a more streamlined hull. It gained a reputation for rapidly ferrying passengers as well as cargo across the Atlantic in a month or less. The weak point was that such a large ship could usually have a small crew of 20 or less, and they could rarely fire more than a few of its possible 16 guns. Fatter- The Dutch Fleut was so well-designed that it became the prototype for cargo carriers. This was a broad, flat-bottomed, and strong ship with a weight of tons spread over only 80 feet. It could also carry 50 percent more cargo than other designs. Merchants on the tightest budget loved that the Fleut was inexpensive to build and to man, as only twelve men could make a crew. With the same weak defense as the carrier, there was no way for the crew to sail and fire very many of its twelve cannons. Monster- An East Indiaman was by far the largest and best for long voyages. This titan was twice as large as a Fleut and weighed in at tons! Any East Indiamen as pirate ships needed a large crew of , a number possible only after successful runs in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. The top gun capacity of 54 was often reduced to make room for more loot. Galleons- These famous Spanish-designed trade and treasure ships rejected the light defense notion of other merchant vessels and were truly a force to be reckoned with. No amount of cannons, however, would deter the pirates attracted to the vast wealth they carried. The pirates were not swayed, because the top speed of perhaps eight knots could not overcome the irksome design features which made it difficult or impossible to maneuver well in less than glassy seas. With huge square sails that prevented sailing into the wind, the hull narrow at the top and broad at bottom, and a tiny keel, it responded more like a washtub than a warship, and someone was always waiting to drain it dry. Predating the galleon, the Spanish and Portuguese sailed huge carracks on their trade routes. These three-masted ships were well-defended and large at over tons. A carrack could most always defend itself well against pirates. The sails provided only secondary power, because the main propulsion was by up to 30 large oars rowed by several men apiece below the deck. One or more masts would attempt to take advantage of the occasional wind with lateen sails. Captains of the corsair galley first employed manpower to approach the prey, then if necessary, several cannon in the bow to assault, and finally on the large number of or more marines or pirates to overcome the enemy. Three masts of square sails, 46 oars, 34 guns, and a nearly ton weight made it more like a frigate than a galley. Junks- There really was no other real ship in the Far East but a junk for many centuries. Although the flat-bottom design was unimposing, it was highly adaptable to merchant, military, and pirate demands alike. Among its distinct features were its very high stern, flat bow, wide breadth, and adjustable rudder height. Chinese Junks could range in size from 45 to feet and have two to four main masts, as well as several heavy guns.
