The Gardian
The Gardian is a merchant 4 masted Carrack of approx. 60 tonnes with up to 40 crew members.
Her berth is Port Innilgard. She is a Privateer for the Crown of Lochac.
Carracks were popular from the mid-1400's and into in the mid 1500's and were the forerunners of the well-known Galleons. One of the most famous Carracks was the Mary Rose - with 4 masts. Other famous Carracks were the Ships of Magellan (2 masted).
The Gardian is a privateer from the 1540's (of non-Spanish design) and this was the principle reason for choosing a carrack.
