This kit comes un-painted, and un-assembled. This set features two SLA 3D printed hulls and rig parts with wood dowel and floral wire masting. This set is designed to represent an up armed pirate galley closely patterned after QAR, and a naval or pirate hunting privateer man-o-war such as Scarborough or Delicia. Captain Hume was left a pair of prize sloops and some cargo. The pirates abandoned ship after setting her afire, Martel and 19 pirates escaped in one of the prize sloops and the other 100 pirates escaped into the woods. Under heavy fire, John & Marshall got underway, but then ran aground. Sadly for Captain Hume, Scarborough was too large to enter the harbor, so the pirates tried escaping. Croix, while they were looting prizes and refitting the 22-gun galley, John & Marshall some of the pirates fired on Scarborough from a hastily erected four-gun shore battery, but were destroyed by the frigate’s six-pounders. On June 21, 1717, he trapped pirate John Martel at St. Scarborough was captained by Francis Hume, based at Barbados, and was among the most successful pirate hunters in the West Indies fleet.
The deposition of Henry Bostock recounts that the pirates "had met the Man of War on this station, but said they had no business with her, but if she had chased them they would have kept their Way." Later, there was according to some, an alleged action against QAR off the island of St. Records of the time indicate the Scarborough was in the vicinity of QAR in February 1717 near Nevis. However, it is said, but not fully proven that she once almost ran afoul of the 36 gun 5th rate Scarborough a ship of similar size, albeit one that carried some larger guns. Famed privateer, and later pirate hunter, Woodes Rogers used them to great effect both with purpose built naval galleys as well as up-armed merchant galleys.īlackbeard never had to fight a ship that was the equal of the QAR. Pirates were not the only captains to employ heavily armed galley frigates. Eventually, after a reign of terror on the high seas including using QAR to blockade Charleston for ransom, the ship ran aground, and Blackbeard chose to abandon her and return to a smaller sloop.
He named her Queen Anne’s Revenge (often referred to as QAR for short) quickly scaled the ships armament up to reportedly as many as 40 guns. His eventual capture was of the French galley La Concord.
As he only had a small squadron of sloops, rather then go after a fully armed naval version he set his sights on a merchant version which tended to be comparatively under-armed and undermanned. The famed pirate Blackbeard knew of these powerful yet fast warships and wanted to get his hands on one. These ships quickly became popular among navies, among privateers, and even merchants. Designed to be narrow and fast, and equipped with long oars called sweeps. Does your Age of Pirate game need a fast heavily armed man o war?
