General
Similar to the Halifax, the larger schooner is much tougher but she has the same lack of firepower.
History
A schooner is a type of sailing vessel characterized by the use of fore-and-aft sails on two or more masts. Schooners were first used by the Dutch in the 16th or 17th century, and further developed in North America from the early 18th century onwards. According to the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, the first ship called a schooner was built by builder Andrew Robinson and launched in 1713 from Gloucester, Massachusetts. Legend has it that the name schooner was the result of a spectator exclaiming "Oh how she scoons", scoon being a Scots word meaning to skip or skim over the water. Robinson replied, "A schooner let her be." According to Walter William Skeat, the term schooner comes from the word scoon, while the sch spelling comes from the later adoption of the Dutch and German
Strategy and Use
A good upgrade from the 'Halifax' Schooner this is larger and better armored though at a cost in speed.
Tactics
Good for boarding smaller ships this vessel can ram and muscle them into the wind to make slow them for boarding.
Variants
Other variants of the Chaleur:

Distinguishing Characteristics
The schooner sail-plan has two or more masts with the forward mast being shorter or the same height as the rear masts. Most traditionally rigged schooners are gaff rigged, sometimes carrying a square topsail on the foremast and occasionally, in addition, a square fore-course (together with the gaff foresail). Schooners carrying square sails are called square-topsail schooners.
