A captured Snow that's been torn apart and refit with extra guns.

History

Brigs are one of the most versatile vessels in naval history, employed as merchant vessels, privateer ships and armed naval vessels. All brigs have two masts, a fore mast and a main mast. Therefore they are not true ships, which have three masts, though they are primarily "ship rigged" meaning "square rigged." Snow brigs have the mizzen sail attached to a small mast behind the main mast. A standard brig (e.g. the 'Lexington' Brig) the mizzen sail is attached directly to the main mast. This ship may also be identified by its hull design, which is termed a pink or pinque due to its narrow or pinched stern. This variant of a Snow Brig was modelled by FLS Ship User Content Committee member Michael O'Dwyer (aka Michiel Duijer) and named for his friend Phunix (aka Rutger van Hoorn).

Strategy and Use

This ship is often used by pirates for smuggling operations due to its high top speed and low Open Sea visibility, also having a 245 unit cargo capacity.

Tactics

Keep your braodsides trained on the enemy. Lack of swivel guns make this ship only good at medium and long range attacking.
