MSFS Pirates near Bora Bora

[bernd1151 5,899]

How do you confront pirates? The best way is with a ship that was used against piracy, not in the South Sea though, but partly in the North Sea. Its name: Wappen von Hamburg. She was commissioned by the Hamburg Admiralty and the merchant community in 1668 and was tasked with escorting convoys of ships to Hamburg's overseas trading partners and protecting them from enemy attacks or raids by corsairs or pirates. After eleven successful convoy voyages, the ship was the victim of an on-board fire and exploded in the port of Cádiz, Spain, in 1683.

As so often with these somewhat unusual objects, it was developed many years ago for FSX, I ported it for my own use to MSFS 

The FSX origin is clearly visible 

With a steady 12 knots I can get away from my pursuer 

Hmmh...not a soul on board. Was it perhaps the plague? Or maybe just the alcohol 

My God, what a graveyard of ships 

Okay, you may be bigger, but I have cannons on board. So you'd better get out of this area, because you're a nuisance here 😄

In we go into the lagoon 

 

The scenery with pirate ships at various islands around the world is available from flightsim.to

Thanks for viewing
