Ship History
Originally built as a standard Defiant -class Frigate she was stripped down to fit in her role as an hauler to transport wood tar and fir logs from Belize to Bluefields for the Wallenstein & Waldeck Sail Loft. All of the topdeck and gundeck guns were removed and the hull slightly modified to increase its storage capacity. The Treasure was put out of service early July 1721 and transfered to the McDella shipyard where a somewhat lighter armament was reinstalled again. Early August 1721 the HMHV Treasure was relaunched now as a Defiant sleek -class Frigate under the Command of Merchant Captain Von Waldeck.
