Do not buy this ship unless your game economy can support an extra thousand gold a week in crew payments and can resource its cannonball output. Also, cos its sooooo big, firing at small ships at point blank means the cannon balls actually go clean over and around the target. It suffers slightly less from the turtling that affects first rates, but has quite a large dead zone and if you leave the AI driving it, it will very likely just sit there, facing the wind, doing nothing. No other ship is as durable, carries as much cargo, throws as much iron, holds as much crew. It is also the longest, tallest, widest and heaviest ship in the game. Its faster with a smaller dead zone than a first rate. Its stats read like the ultimate card on top trumps. Exists in the real world really only as plans and a model. A semi-fictional first-rate ship of the line, designed but never built in the first decade of the 1800s to be the last word in tall ships.
