Let's bring some perspective into ships!
Yes, there will be no gunpowder in AoC, but it is interesting imagining how big a ship could be
The Padre Eterno was the biggest galleon in history, made in Brazil in the 17th century and sold to Portugal, it had 144 to 180 (180 hatches) guns.
The HMS Sovereign of the Seas had only 100 to 102 guns and 39 m (keel).
In sintes that are in English people say that the biggest galleon was João Batista (Botafogo), also from Portugal, but if you want learn about seafaring in the old days it has to be in Portuguese (or French), since they were the masters of the seas.
It was built for fighting the Dutch West India Company at the coasts of Brazil and Angola.
Ship type: Galleon
Length 53 m (keel)
Armament 144 artillery pieces
Crew 3,000–4,000 men
Load 2000 tons
Models of the Soleil Royal (France, 1670) galleon with it's 112 guns and 1200 men
Remember: nice ships are French and Portuguese! English ships are sad ships, bland and unappealing

PvE means: A handful of coins and a bag of boredom.

Tell that to Admiral Villeneuve.
Golden Hint could easily be a PvE boss pirate, this ship looks evil
