Class 4 Merchant Xebec, "Pelican"

Next out of the Quinnsville Shipyards is a small, lightly armed, Merchant Xebec.

Not built for combat or super long voyages, it is lightly armed with only eight 4 pounders for protection. It's lack of cannon though, means it has plenty of cargo space for a sizeable haul of goods.

It has no quarters for the crew, just high side walls and space under the stern for shade.

Thanks for checking out one of my latest builds. This is my first time building an Xebec, but I think it turned out pretty nice. It was also a blast to build. C&C are welcome and appreciated!

It's a good looking chebec, I like how you've built the hull with slopes and arches, the colour scheme is nice and she's richely docorated with a lot of golden ornaments, good job.

Thank you! I'm glad that you like it! I've got another bigger one I'll be posting soon as well with the same color scheme.

Nice one. Properly armes for its size, with enough cargo space for sure. I might even say it is a bit too decorated for its size!
