I don’t know yet
A quick stocktake of the fleet.
Because we are currently trying to sell our house, I haven’t been able to make any significant progress on this project yet. However, it has given me the time to do a small stocktake of the ships I currently have built.
The flags are all removable and not necessarily on the ships they are ultimately destined for.
I also have another 9 ships that are unbuilt and currently packed away.
Currently my smallest built ship, a resin sloop from Ainsty Castings. Armed with 6 small cannons. The sloop is a probably one of the more common ships amongst Pirates due to its speed and excellent manoeuvrability. 
Another small sloop, this time flying French colours. Armed with 6 small cannons and 4 swivel guns. Model is from the Firelock Games range of resin ships.
Brigantine armed with 8 light cannons and 6 swivel guns. A relatively standard ship with average manoeuvrability, firepower and protection. This model is from the Firelock Games range and is shown with English Colours.
Anisty Castings Resin Merchantman. A rather robust ship with only minimal armament of 6 cannons. Currently flying Dutch colours.
Light Frigate, the first and smallest of the Warships. Model from Firelock Games. Shown flying Pirate colours at this time. Armed with 12 cannons and 4 swivel guns.
Ainsty Castings resin Man of War. Armed with 24 Cannon, including a pair of bow chasers, spread over two decks. Flying English colours and currently the second largest of my assembled ships.
My largest finished ship, the Galleon from Firelock Games. Flying Dutch colours this slow hulk is bound to be a prime target due to all the cargo it carries. It won't go down easily though, armed with 28 cannons and room for 8 swivel guns it will be a brave captain indeed who takes on this behemoth.The 9 ships I still have to complete include larger and smaller varieties than those already done. From memory, the largest I have is a 50-gun monster, destined to become the dominant power of the seas.
I also have a small fleet of native canoes and a few rowboats to add to the mix. Plenty of options to choose from.
