The Augusta is an Italian-built ship sailing under the Spanish flag, crewed by Italians promised not only a share of the cargo they carry but also land to eventually settle in the Spanish colonies.

Arrogant

Fire & Steel

Called to duty by Capitaine Azarue, this little ship has experienced conflict in arenas as varied as the Mediterranean and the South China Seas.

Spain was the last of the nations to create a flotilla, but now uses them aggressively to protect its precious ports in the New World.

Antamasia

Lore

Fire & Steel

Angel De Guarda

Lore

Fire & Steel

Despite her size, the Angel de Guarda is often crewed by a surprisingly small number of sailors, her captain trusting the ship’s namesake to protect her when sometimes crucial positions are left unmanned.

Amity

Lore

Crimson Coast

The Amity left England bound for the West Indies, but she never arrived. If this is the same ship, it's a pretty safe bet that she doesn't have the same crew. (Linked to Thomas Tew)

Fire & Steel

The only ship Tew ever used, the Amity traveled the Pirate Round with him twice before her final battle, in which she was taken by a 25-ship Mughal convoy and destroyed. (Linked to Thomas Tew)

Trivia

In 1692, Captain Thomas Tew (a Privateer who later became a Pirate) obtained a letter of marque from the governor of Bermuda. Various Bermudan backers provided him with a vessel: the seventy-ton sloop Amity, armed with eight guns and crewed by forty-six officers and men. By 1694, Tew paid off the owners of the Amity, who recouped fourteen times the value of the vessel.
