Vladsimpaler Isabela, 12 points, Spanish
Masts: 4
Cargo: 5
Speed: S
Cannons: 3S 3L 3L 3S
Abilities: One of this ship's treasures is worth +2 gold when unloaded at your home island.
Flavor Text: The crew of the Isabella know that they are judged only by how much plunder they bring back to Spain—not on the ships they sink or the lands they explore. So they make sure they have a full hold whenever they dock.

The name of this ship is awesome, it brings back such great memories from when I saw the movie 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age'. Whenever King Philip II talked to his daughter, Isabela, it just had this weird accent that I came to love. Of course, Spain lost. Which made me cry a bit inside. At least they were winning for the beginning part. Anyway, onto the ship. Actually, not yet. The Isabela is the second ship, to my memory, that has the Spanish flag ON its masts. The first is La Reconquistador, from Pirates at Ocean's Edge. I probably know more about trivial Spanish stuff than anyone. Well, besides a few. Now, onto the ship.

Spain received 3 abilities that give +2 to gold unloaded, one of them being this ship. Now, this ship seems extremely familiar. It seems a lot like the Concepcion, which was reviewed earlier. The differences are that this ship has much better cannons, but worse speed. But this can be fixed!

First of all, Bianco's Haulers is a godsend to this ship. Being able to unload within S is priceless. Also, you will want a helmsman. And, if you want, Dominic Freda. But, most importantly, you will want Hidden Cove, which automatically docks your ship at a wild island.
Which is good. You will find these things essential.

Of course, why not just pay for La Joya de Sol, or La Santa Isabel?
Oh yeah-this ship has better cannons. And looks infinitely better.
But if you don't have either, by all means use this. It's not too bad, it just needs some fixing.
The Isabela receives a 3/5 from me.
It's a little better than the Concepcion.
