Footage from Amsterdam. It's amazing how many converted warships existed too.

HMS Superb. In the moonless melee of 12–13 July 1801 (Second Battle of Algeciras), Superb raked the 112-gun Real Carlos, which then, in the confusion, traded broadsides with fellow 112-gun San Hermenegildo. The two Spanish giants collided, caught fire, and both blew up—~1,700–2,000 men killed. One ship’s attack touched off the deadliest combat loss of life in the age of sail.

Deadliest single-ship loss in a battle: the French flagship L’Orient blew up at the Nile (1798); only ~70 survived, implying ~900–1,000 dead.

Spanish treasure galleon San José (1708) exploded during Wager’s Action; ~589 dead (11 survivors).

girls ships be like

HMS Endymion (1797) is the best-documented “speed champ” among true warships of the Age of Sail. She was widely regarded in the Royal Navy as its fastest sailing ship and logged 14.4 knots when sailing large, with ~11 knots close-hauled—excellent numbers for a fully armed frigate.

So this would be the very best of swivel guns. Value depends on the day, where you gonna find another one?

Asians had a noted master too but that's because they all used relative pop-guns.

Currently in use but largely ceremonial:
Netherlands (Koninklijke Marine)

Zr.Ms. Evertsen — air-defense frigate. Took part in the Sail-In and is open to visitors.

Zr.Ms. Urania — the Navy’s sailing training yacht; also paraded in with the tall ships.

Zr.Ms. Karel Doorman — joint support ship, moored and open for tours.

Zr.Ms. Zeeleeuw — Walrus-class submarine, alongside in the IJ.

Foreign naval sail-training ships

Shabab Oman II (Royal Navy of Oman) — full-rigged ship, confirmed participating this year.

Gorch Fock (German Navy) — barque and Bundesmarine training icon, listed for SAIL

B.A.P. Unión (Peruvian Navy) — four-masted barque; arrived for SAIL and drawing crowds.

Fuck excuse me, also this is in Amsterdam's Sail 2025, active to any degree war ship list.

Valmy (1847). She was still a pure sailing ship, but mounted a bruiser of a battery (including Paixhans shell guns), for a theoretical broadside a bit over ~2,100 lb—bigger than anything in the classic Nelson era.

Santísima Trinidad (Spain’s four-decker, 1769 rebuilt to 140 guns) wears the paper bag for ass-ugliest ship with sails. Once they stacked that fourth gundeck on, she looked like a baroque wedding cake with cannons—top-heavy, clumsy under sail, and about as graceful as a masonry fortress trying to do ballet.

Anon... she's water-head retarded and can't consent, that's just your living fuck doll.

>>64158723
Nice ship you got there, would be a shame if something happened...

>>64159539
She suffered from not knowing when to offload a job to an escort. Seaworthy hull would have been a fucking bonus but essentially if anything it should have been wider and lower OR have an open deck/scaffold with beams that can flex just a little.
