Fluyt

Description

Round sterned, broad beamed, two-masted and flat bottomed, the Dutch fluyt is expensive to build, cheap to man and renowned for her cargo capacity—half again that of similarly sized vessels with sleeker lines. The English and the French both have their own adaptations of this design, and fluyts range the world’s sea lines under all flags. However, those that sail pirate waters are routine prey for buccaneer captains.
