These look more 17th-18th century than Renaissance. Sailing ships need a spanker (the fore-and-aft sail at the stern) to maneuver. Ships 1,3,4 wouldn't work. Ships 5,6,7 have a spanker and could sail. Leaving off the spanker is a common mistake in maritime artwork. I have even seen a model based on such a painting. When I had it restored, I had the restorer use a lateen sail as a spanker - as would be appropriate for 17th century.

I do like and will download ship 7 with the rainbow.

thank you
What about the thousands of wonderful men and women who are fighting this war without any of the credit or the glory that always goes to those lucky few who just happen to get shot?

If these are recolors of rainy day on main street should they be base game compatible?
