The deck of this mighty pirate ship is constructed from solid oak
planking and beams.  Three masts rise from the centers of the forecastle,
maindeck, and the sterncastle, each bearing an array of furled sails.  Many
ropes and pulleys lead down from the formast to numerous large oak cleats
along the ship's rail that raise, lower, and control the enormous lateen
sails.  There are burns and gashes all over the deck marking previous
battles on the high seas.  
A conniving pirate is here looking for trouble.
