The Rat King

The human vessel known to the cats as "The Rat King" is a galleon once belonging to an unknown merchant navy. She has seen many waters, from the Indian Ocean to the Arctic and everywhere in between. She has sailed along rivers and into lakes. Her human (and feline) crew possessed an insatiable wanderlust.
== Construction and Dimensions ==
Her name was not always The Rat King but her original name has been lost to time.
She was commissioned at an unknown date in Spain (18th Century at the latest) but was refitted and refurbished in the last 20 years by the human crew. Her hull was built 21 inches (530 mm) thick and her length between perpendiculars was 175 ft (53 m), with a 204 ft (62 m) length overall and a width of 43 ft 6 in (13.26 m). Her displacement was 2200 tons.
Her foremast and mainmast are square-rigged with the mizzenmast being lateen-rigged a second lateen-rigged mizzen was added at a later point, called the bonaventure mizzen.
In keeping with international regulations The Rat King's guns have been removed, but in her prime she would have sported anywhere from 80 - 200 guns of varying shot, including but not limited to: 10x 36-pounder carronades, 20x 32-pounder long guns, 2x 24-pounder chase guns on the bow and the stern, and several others.
