The hull seems a bit long for a Flute (overall proportions ...). Or it is the CA answer No. 236 for intrusive questions: "It's from a old build - we changed all ships 34 weeks ago"

It could be some kind of galley but the jigg mast throws me.

It seems a little slender for a flute and I must say I was going on the rigging.

They are not ship rigged. They look like merchant men and the shot could be early Jamestown.

They are ships with stubby mizzen masts and even shorter jigg masts and a very high poop. I guess we may find out some day.

It wouldn’t be the first time I miss identified something…
