Ability: Once per turn, this ship may move S after unloading cargo.

This ship is a puzzler. Her speed, ability, and point cost all say "gold ship." But her cargo, perhaps a gold ship's most important value, just isn't there. She'd make a decent gold runner if you didn't mind leaving some gold behind, but who wants to do that? When a pirate pillages a wild island, he doesn't want to leave anything for the enemy to scavenge, no matter how low its value.

The Lady Newport would also make a decent second fighter. The only problem with this role is that you could use the Longshanks instead, get the exact same speed and cannons, and save three points. If the Longshanks isn't in your collection, this ship might be an acceptable substitute.

At least you have a choice of roles for this ship; she can be a fast runner of small chunks of gold, or an okay fighter. She's not a great ship, but her price isn't outrageous, and her speed and flexibility put her in the "decent" category.

Total rating: 3 / 5
