The Battle of Cape St Vincent, 14 February 1797
William Allan (1782–1850)
National Maritime Museum

The Ship of the Line has been a stalwart battle vessel in Avonmora since her beginning; it be only proper to recognize the owner of Avonmora's oldest Ship of the Line. As part of HELM's Anniversary Festival.


There be three prizes: First Place: 10 Million gold coin for the oldest Ship of the Line
Second Place: 7.5 Million gold coin for the second oldest Ship of the Line
Third Place: 5 Million Gold Coin for the third oldest Ship of the Line

All those in Avonmora are elibible to enter.
Entries need to be posted here by Day 1400 - that be 7 days to post the ID Number of your SotL. Enter your three oldest Ships and let us all celebrate and honor the Ship of the Line.

When all entries are in, verification of ownership and ship ID will be needed - by spy network (From the leadership of HELM) or by puttin' this mighty vessel on the plunder screens where her ship ID can be seen (and possibly test her mettle).

Let the parade begin! Best of luck to all ye mates!

I am not sure that posting my ships ID here is a good idea.
However I want to support your celebrations so here is my oldest ship...
(#1121¥€)

I have SotL #289XX I will be glad to fill in the last two digits if the number is close. It would be done in a letter to SHM and not posted here though. Sorry if I am too cautious to comply with the rules and if this disqualifies my entry I understand.

Bump for the contest, compared to the other two its not as old but throwing it out there in hopes it gets more people to play:
488XX

I got an old one, too - I'll put her in just for fun, but I not be enterin' the contest - just joinin' the parade:

ID #59XX

(I see the wisdom mates, in hidin' a few numbers, as there always be party crashers.)

im pretty sure mine losses by a long shot
212XXX

I'm pretty sure the oldest SOTL in the game was owned by the legendary BackStabb3R (#63) and I have been aiming for it for a long time. When the <25 fame rule was removed I immediately spied him and he didn't own the ship. Guess what. It was tidal waved by someone. Danik was it you? I remember founding the new owner with Rotten food. The name of the ship was something like "The Destroyer". #666?


EDIT: My oldest is 59xxx.

Moi? I dont think so : I did acquire the original 'Daisy', of illustrious fame, from a Tidal Wave : but her number was not #666.
