Xebec 1753 1/60

Längd 72 cm

A famed lateen rigged vessel derived from the Xebec used by the Barbary coast pirates. Armed with 14 medium calibre cannons and 6 culverins for close-quarter combat, the Xebec was also used by the Spanish for coastal defence against Algerian pirates. Oars made navigation possible even in the doldrums.
