Discover the design, functions, and secrets of pirate vessels, encapsulating the essence of pirate life. The distance a pirate ship can sail in a day depends on factors such as wind conditions, sail design, crew skill, ship size and type, and ocean currents. Ancient, medieval, and pre-modern ships travel in a month depending on the size of the ship, the size and number of sails, the time of year it sailed, its hull shape, and whether the ship was in heavy cargo or light.
Pirates used a sextant to determine their latitude, ensuring they remained on course and never straying too far into uncharted territory. The famous Blackbeard flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge, was one of the most famous pirate ships of all time. The distance from Port Royal to Nassau is about 900 kms, with an ideal journey time of about 120 miles per day.
Ships between the 16th and 18th centuries maintained their speeds over the years, traveling between 100 and 150 miles per day due to the distance between the English Channel and the Coast of America. Half sail lowers the drift numbers on a galleon by half.
The San Salvador Sailing Adventure is a 4 hour San Diego day sail, replicating Juan Rodriguez Cabrillos ship that arrived at the port we now call San Diego. The distance between the English Channel and the Coast of America is roughly 3000 nautical miles.
