"Salte el Tiburon" is Spanish for "jump the shark," and I have to wonder what WK was trying to tell us with a name like that. The ship itself is a four-masted schooner of striking appearance and questionable usefulness.

How a ship as graceful-looking as this can get a speed of only S puzzles me, but such dead slowness renders any ship just about useless. Her cargo is small for a ship her size, and when you add the Helmsman that she absolutely has to have, only two spaces are left. I suppose she's meant to fill up with fighting combo crew from various nations; one possible set would be the Helmsman, Thomas Gunn the Younger (Captain and crew kill), and the OE Crimson Angel (SAT and +1 vs non-Pirates). That would make her dangerous, but I'm sure the Spanish can do better for 24 total points. (Hint: the OE La Resolucion, Duque Alfonzo de Castilla, Helmsman, and Capital Alarico Castro has the same abilities, is a bit faster, has better cannons, and costs one point less.)

With low speed and small cargo, Salte el Tiburon isn't what I'd call a great ship, or even a good ship. Her point cost is a bit more than what she's worth. There isn't much else to say.
