Notable ships

*Glorious Treasure - Jade Rebellion, 1-mast, 2 armor, 6 points. This ship can deal up to 2 masts of damage and kill one crew when it rams an enemy ship making this ship worth far above 6 points. The armor and its turtle ship ability enable it to take twice as many hits as a normal 1-mast ship. Its cannon is decent and the ship is of average speed. This ship can even destroy a 3-mast ship with only minor damage unlike most 1-mast ships. It is very vulnerable to being hit with a firepot specialist.

*Grand Path - Jade Rebellion, 6-mast, 17 points, with 6 2S cannons and a special ability to add +1 to boarding rolls.

*Feathered Hat - Pirate, 4-mast, 12 points. The Feathered Hat has average cannons (2S 3S 3S 3S) and good speed (S+L) but her ability is powerful -- the Feathered Hat can be crewed by any nationality. Her 3 cargo preclude her from being very useful as a treasure runner but taking on three crew from any nation could make her downright lethal.

*USS New Orleans - America, 2-mast, 12 points. This ship can hide behind something and then pop out to steal a derelict ship. Both of the ships become "teleported" to the home island removing both from danger. In a large battle, this ship has a high value for recovery.

*Santa Ana - Spain, 4-mast, 15 points. Santa Ana could be considered the cousin of the powerful HMS Titan, as it can receive an extra action on a 5 or a 6. It has slightly above average cannons, sporting 2 rank 2 S range cannons, and 2 rank 3 L range cannons. Its 5 cargo allows it to become a powerful flagship.

Notable crew

*Pirate - The Headhunter (sacrifice a crew for extra action; +1 to cannon rolls vs. non-Pirates). The Headhunter was named by a winner of the world's first Pirates of the Spanish Main event and subsequent auction at Gencon Indy 2004.

*French - Princess Arii Auraa (0pts, crew cost 0 on this ship)

*American - Commodore Matthew Perry (0LR, +5 fleet points)

*Jade Rebellion
**Zheng Li Kwan (sacrifice a crew for extra action; treasure switcher)
**Ms. Cheng (0LR reroll 1 die per turn)
**Dragon Eyes (10 points, may capture enemy crew for gold when boarding)
**Li Quin (0LR +5 fleet points)
**The Nameless (1+ to boadring rolls)
