Treasure Galleons are large merchant vessels, virtually the largest to appear in the Caribbean. Often used by the Spanish to carry silver and gold from the Caribbean to the Old World, Treasure Galleons are the most sought-after prizes on all the world's seas. To defend themselves the ships usually boast a large and well-trained crew along with plenty of cannon. Even so, each of these ships can carry a significant portion of the Spanish government's yearly budget, and as such they rarely leave port without an escort of powerful warships.
Capturing a well-armed and escorted Treasure Galleon is difficult for any but the most cunning and powerful warrior.
The Royal Galleons and Trade Galleons are of similar design to the Treasure Galleon. |
