DC Tom Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Cargo Ship; http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/attachme...-310507-004.jpg The Dutch Warship The Tromp; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hr._Ms._..._%28F803%29.jpg It really is harder than people think to identify a ship at sea from a distance. Not a lot of detail (gets washed out in the haze), and usually no visual reference for depth perception to guess the size. But it's harder still when you're stupid. Really, guys...carry binoculars or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Why on earth would they have not taken the opportunity to sink all the ships and reduced the pirate population by a few? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
