This is the complete set for this weeks maps.
This map set is part of the High Seas series.
Background
The schooner is a light ship, capable of spending a few weeks at sea with a small crew. Although primarily used for cargo, passenger transport or fishing, they are often fitted with small cannon and used as coastal patrol vessels.
It is also small and fast enough to sneak through enemy patrols where large ships would struggle. The shallow hull and gaff-rigging also mean it can travel through shallower waters, ‘skipping’ along the surface.
