Blood & Plunder – Bark Ship
A durable merchant vessel, often pressed into service by buccaneers and the Spanish alike.
Product Info:
The Bark is one of the most common ships found throughout the Caribbean, serving as a coastal merchant and fishing vessel. Typically square-rigged and built for carrying cargo rather than speed, the bark was nonetheless widely used by buccaneers thanks to its availability and sturdiness. The Spanish frequently converted them into armadillas—small fighting ships deployed against raiders. One of the most famous historical battles saw buccaneers in canoes and pirogues clash with three Spanish armadilla barks, making this vessel a pivotal part of Caribbean naval warfare.
