Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion (Spanish: "Our Lady of the (Immaculate) Conception" was a 120 to 140-ton Spanish galleon that sailed the Peru - Panama trading route during the 16th century. This ship has earned a place in maritime history not only by virtue of being Sir Francis Drake's most famous prize, but also because of her colorful nickname, Cagafuego ("fireshitter").

Conception




So, imagine you are Francis Drake (not Sir yet) on board of Cagafuego, open the storage area (Cltrl+D) which is full of big chests.....

open the first of them (drag the cap with the mouse and move it down) and voila….is full of doubloons!!!!!…. Golden doubloons!!!!….and non only doubloons, in those chests there are 80 lb (36 kg) of gold, a golden crucifix, jewels, 13 chests full of royals of plate and 26 tons of silver. The Queen's half-share of the cargo surpassed the rest of the crown's income for that entire year
(note: only one chest is animated)

But do not forget, this ship is a treasure ship, but is a warship, so i ensure you that in the next encounter with Golden Hind, the fire of my cannons will be a really fire and not a ….cagafuego
So (with Ctrl + A) deploy the cannons of the second deck and ….fuego!!!

Enjoy!!!

"Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum..."

Hello Costas,

"Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Charles Dickens - Treasure Island (in german: Die Schatzinsel), In this novel, the song is often sung.

I remember when I was 10 or 11 years old...

Your ship is so beautiful... :o

with greetings to Deutschmark and Firescull too,

Gerhard

P.S.: Cagafuego in german is: "Feuerspucker" - a cool name for an old armed sailing ship :lol:
