The Brigantine "Elk Hunt"






The Brigantine "Elk Hunt" often mistaken for a Spanish merchant, has preyed on vessels of all nationalities for going on 2 years now. Her survival not accredited to bold action or bloody ferocity but her captain's passive aggressive tactic of placing the ship right where the navy wants her at the moment before they can actually doing anything about it.








The only "head" you'll ever see on the Elk Hunt.

The Elk Hunt is known to present a beutiful aft right before she turns on you.

The Sloop "E. Seconds"


The Sloop "E. Seconds" a legitimate English merchant vessel by all accounts, has a keen reputation in these waters of being able to deliver those hard to find items to any patron who is not too picky of the previous owner. By no means a pirate nor plunderer the captain of the vessel has all the right contacts in all the wrong places.
OverTaking the sloop "E. Seconds" by the aft can be a sticky situation.
