Blood & Plunder – Fluyt Ship
A sturdy Dutch merchant vessel designed for trade, built to resist boarding.
Product Info:
The Fluyt is a Dutch-designed, ship-rigged vessel widely used throughout the Caribbean during the 17th century. Engineered for efficient cargo hauling with a minimal crew, it became a cornerstone of Dutch maritime trade. Its distinctive tumblehome hull design not only maximized cargo space but also made the vessel notoriously difficult to board, giving it a defensive edge against raiders. In Blood & Plunder, the Fluyt serves as a reliable and historically authentic merchantman, bringing depth to your naval battles.
