Age of Revolution Ships 1st Rate Ship of the Line Warship Scale: Large Strong Transport (12) Length 220+ft Deck Height Draft 5 fathoms Wounds: 60/120/180/240 vehicle scale DR: 60 Weapons Fore: Culverin x 10 Weapons Aft: Culverin x 12 Weapons Broadside: Cannon x 22, Demi-Cannon x 22 Str +80 for hauling cargo Cargo 200 tons Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 3 Defense: 11/14 Crew: 450 (T) max 875 Passengers: 100 A 1st rate was a rare type of Ship of the Line only in commission during a time of war. They were primarily Flag Ships for Admirals when used at all. A 1st rate Ship of the Line had 100-120 cannons on 3 gun decks. To the left is the HMS Victory. She was Lord Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar. 2nd Rate Ship of the Line Warship Scale: Medium Strong Transport (11) Length Deck Height Draft 5 fathoms Wounds: 32/64/96/128 vehicle scale DR: 32 Weapons Fore: Culverin x 6 Weapons Aft: Culverin x 10 Weapons Broadside: Cannon x 18, Demi-Cannon x 18 Str +60 for hauling cargo Cargo 75 tons Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 3 Defense: 12/16 Crew: 350(T) max 750 Passengers 75 A 2nd rate Ship of the Line had 90-98 cannons on 3 gun decks. To the right is the HMS Royal Katherine (1664). It fought in several wars and was rebuilt in 1742-3 and renamed the HMS Ramillies. Galleon Warship/Merchantman Scale: Medium Strong Transport (11) Length Deck Height Draft 4.5 fathoms Wounds: 32/64/96/128 vehicle scale DR: 32 Weapons Fore: Culverin x4 Weapons Aft: Culverin x 10 Weapons Broadside: Culverin x 16, Demi-Cannon x 16 Str +60 for hauling cargo Cargo 400 tons Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 3 Defense: 12/16 Crew 200(T) Passengers: 60 The term Galleon evolved from the war Galley of the Middle Ages but the ship evolved from the Carrack. It became longer, lowered the forecastle to reduce wind resistance, and narrower. Some had rowing decks but they were mainly powered by the wind. They had either 3 or 4 sails with the last a Lateen sail for better maneuverability. They were heavily used by the Spanish. “Seventy Four” 3rd Rate Ship of the Line Warship Scale: Medium Strong Transport (11) Length 161 – 182 ft Deck Height Draft 4 fathoms Wounds: 32/64/96/128 vehicle scale DR: 32 Weapons Fore: Culverin x4 Weapons Aft: Culverin x 10 Weapons Broadside: Culverin x 16, Demi-Cannon x 16 Str +60 for hauling cargo Cargo 400 tons Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 4 Defense: 12/16 Crew 500(T) Max 700 Passengers: 200 Extreme Clippership Merchantman Scale: Medium Strong Transport (11) Length Deck Height Draft 3 ½ fathoms Wounds: 32/64/96/128 vehicle scale DR: 32 Weapons Fore: Culverin x4 Weapons Aft: Culverin x 10 Weapons Broadside: Culverin x 16, Demi-Cannon x 16 Str +60 for hauling cargo Cargo Speed: 20 knots Maneuver 4 Defense: 12/16 Crew 50(T) Passengers: 20 Medium Clippership Merchantman Scale: Medium Strong Transport (11) Length Deck Height Draft 3 fathoms Wounds: 32/64/96/128 vehicle scale DR: 32 Weapons Fore: Culverin x4 Weapons Aft: Culverin x 10 Weapons Broadside: Culverin x 16, Demi-Cannon x 16 Str +60 for hauling cargo Cargo Speed: 16-18 knots Maneuver 3 Defense: 12/16 Crew 25-35(T) Passengers: 15 Large Brig Warship/Merchantman Scale: Medium Strong Transport (11) Length Deck Height Draft Wounds: 32/64/96/128 vehicle scale DR: 32 Weapons Fore: Culverin x4 Weapons Aft: Culverin x 10 Weapons Broadside: Culverin x 16, Demi-Cannon x 16 Str +60 for hauling cargo Cargo Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 3 Defense: 12/16 Crew 200(T) Passengers: 60 Small Brig Warship/Merchant Scale: Small Strong Transport (10) Length Deck Height Draft Wounds: 16/32/48/64 vehicle scale DR: 16 Weapons Fore: Demi-Culverin x 4 Weapons Aft: Demi- Culverin x 6 Weapons Broadside: Culverin x 28 Str +50 for hauling cargo Cargo Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 3 Defense: 13/16 Crew 250(T) Passengers: 50 3rd Rate Ship of the Line Warship Scale: Small Strong Transport (10) Length Deck Height Draft 4 fathoms Wounds: 16/32/48/64 vehicle scale DR: 16 Weapons Fore: Demi-Culverin x 4 Weapons Aft: Demi- Culverin x 6 Weapons Broadside: Demi-Culverin x 16, Culverin x 16 Str +50 for hauling cargo Cargo 120 tons Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 3 Defense: 13/16 Crew 250(T) max 650 Passengers 50 A 3rd rate Ship of the Line had 64-80 cannons on 2 gun decks. To the right is the HMS Hercule, a captured French 3rd Rate that was recommissioned as an English 3rd Rate. Galley Galleys were the primary warship used for centuries. They were mainly driven by oars with their sail only used occasionally during good weather with the wind going in the right direction. They were much more maneuverable than the single mast sailing ships of the time period. They were mainly used along the coasts and in the Mediterranean. Coastal/Warship Scale: Small Standard Transport (10) Length Deck Height Draft Wounds: 16/32/48/64 vehicle scale DR: 16 Weapons Fore: Demi-Culverin x 1 Weapons Aft: Minion x 1 Weapons Broadside: None Str +50 for hauling cargo Speed: 7-10 knots with a sail/7 knots w/rowers Maneuver 4 Defense: 10/10 Crew 200(T) Passengers: 60 East Indiaman Merchantman Scale: Small Strong Transport (10) Length Deck Height Draft 4 fathoms Wounds: 16/32/48/64 vehicle scale DR: 16 Weapons Fore: Demi-Culverin x 4 Weapons Aft: Demi-Culverin x 6 Weapons Broadside: Demi-Culverin x 24 Str +50 for hauling cargo Cargo 160 tons Speed: 4-5 knots Maneuver 3 Defense: 13/16 Crew: 200(T) Passengers: 60 These were built by the various East India companies (Dutch, English or Scandinavian) to bring back tea, china, silk and spices. Over the years, the high castles disappeared in favor of a lower beamier shape. In capacity they ranged from 600-1500 tons but the speed remained around 4-5 knots for an average of 120 miles/day. Also use this for West Indiaman Merchantman. Caravel Merchantman Scale: Small Strong Transport (10) Length Deck Height Draft Wounds: 16/32/48/64 vehicle scale DR: 16 Weapons Fore: Demi-Culverin x 2 Weapons Aft: Demi-Culverin x 4 Weapons Broadside: Demi-Culverin x 12 Str +50 for hauling cargo Cargo Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 4 Defense: 13/16 Crew 200(T) Passengers: 60 A Caravel was a small, highly maneuverable ship that was one of the first ships that could tack into the wind. They were the main ships used by the Portuguese to explore the Atlantic and African coast. 4th Rate Ship of the Line Warship Scale: Huge Strong Vehicle (9) Length Deck Height Draft 3 fathoms Wounds: 8/16/24/32 vehicle scale DR: 8 Weapons Fore: Demi-Culverin x 4 Weapons Aft: Demi-Culverin x 4 Weapons Broadside: Culverin x 28 Str +40 for hauling cargo Cargo 100 Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 4 Defense: 14 Crew 200(T) max 420 Passengers: 50 Aka Cruisers A Cruiser had 50 to 60 cannons on 2 gun decks.

It was very common type of Dutch built ship that was made for cargo hauling. It can hold twice as much cargo as another ship of its size since it doesn’t have to double as a warship. It was also much cheaper to build. Brigantine Warship/Merchantman Scale: Huge Strong Vehicle (9) Length Deck Height Draft 2.5 fathoms Wounds: 8/16/24/32 vehicle scale DR: 8 Weapons Fore: None Weapons Aft: Culverin x 4 Weapons Broadside: Culverin x 10 Str +40 for hauling cargo Cargo 100 tons Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 4 Defense: 14 Crew: 120(T) Passengers: 50 Pinnace Merchantman Scale: Huge Strong Vehicle (9) Length Deck Height Draft 3 fathoms Wounds: 8/16/24/32 vehicle scale DR: 8 Weapons Fore: None Weapons Aft: Culverin x 6 Weapons Broadside: Dmei-Culverin x 12 Str +40 for hauling cargo Cargo 120 tons Speed: 8-11 knots Maneuver 4 Defense: 14 Crew 180(T) Passengers: 50 Pinnacles were a large three masted merchant vessel often used to cross the Atlantic.

They were the hardest working ships in a fleet. They were used on patrol duty along shipping lanes. They were sometimes placed in charge of a squadron of corvettes for anti-piracy duty. A posting on a frigate was highly sought after. They operated more independently and saw a lot of action. This led to faster promotions. Corvette Warship Scale: Large Strong Vehicle (8) Length Deck Height Draft 3 fathoms Wounds: 4/8/12/16 vehicle scale DR: 4 Str +30 for hauling cargo Cargo 80 tons Speed: 11-15 knots Maneuver 4 Defense: 15/16 Crew 70(T) Passengers: 20 Corvettes were mainly used in escort and anti-piracy duties.
