His company of Marines, who were led by the decorated veteran Captain Horatio Plates, were headed to King's Harbor to protect the interests of the Crown in the New World.

After they had sailed half the distance from the Sea of Storms to the Terraversa Sea, the "Eagle" encountered a dreadful storm that shook the timbers of the mighty vessel to their core. In all the confusion, the aging Captain Plates, was injured by a rouge barrel that broke loose in the hold. By the time the Storm finally cleared after two days, Captain Horatio Plates had passed. The crew buried him at sea the following day. With the Company's leader now deceased, Nathaniel Brickford was promoted from second in charge to Captain of the troops aboard the "Eagle".
(OOC) I hope you enjoyed the next part of my character storyline and the ship MOC! C&C are welcome and appreciated! I know the sails don't look the greatest and there should probably be 4 or 5 masts, but trying to be precise and add things on a 3000 piece model on the LDD is no easy task!
I read the ship size thread and I decided to make this ship a Class 8 because if built with real bricks it would be about 50 inches long. Any comments on that or about character progression in general would be helpful (just to make sure I'm doing it right!). Thanks for viewing!
