History

Brigs are one of the most versatile vessels in naval history, employed as merchant vessels, privateer ships and armed naval vessels. All brigs have two masts, a fore mast and a main mast. Therefore they are not true ships, which have three masts, though they are primarily "ship rigged" meaning "square rigged." Snow brigs have the mizzen sail attached to a small mast behind the main mast. A standard brig (e.g. the [['Lexington' Brig) the mizzen sail is attached directly to the main mast.

Strategy and Use

This Snow Brig is a bit sluggish and suffers from the lack of swivel guns but it is still a solid merchant vessel despite its warship label.

Tactics

Avoid getting caught in irons or losing too much speed turning but keep your broadside trained on your enemy.
