Blood & Plunder Tartana Ship
The Tartana was a common Mediterranean merchant vessel that found new life in the Caribbean during the 17th century. With its two-masted lateen rig and modest size, it was well-suited for coastal trading, smuggling, and privateering. Adaptable and fast, the Tartana became a favorite for both Spanish and French captains, offering a balance of maneuverability and armament.
