Xebec

About:
The
three mast Xebec with its lateen
sails was used for centuries in the
Mediterranean as a merchant ship
because of its speed and shallow
draught. It was not long before
Corsairs, the pirates of the
Mediterranean, decided on the Xebec
as their vessel of choice for
lighting fast attacks on heavier
laden merchant ships. With its
fourteen cannons slug low in the
waists, the Xebec would hole her
prey just inches above the waterline
making escape impossible. Six
culverins were mounted along the
poop deck for close action or just
in case the crew tried to mutiny.
Oars were used when the wind failed
giving the Xebec the upper hand in
attacking other vessels or fleeing
the authorities.
