The Battlefield Pirates 2 mod team has posted up their latest update today

which showcases a new ship and map. Here's what they had to say:

Release 2 will feature several new open-water naval combat maps and will also contain much larger assault ships armed to the teeth, such as the Brig previously announced. Supporting your team's fleet with fresh supplies of ammo, repair parts and additional crewmen will be critical for maintaining naval dominance instead of having ships retreat to friendly ports to restock.

To fill this tactical role, we present yet another ship into the mix called the Wherry - modelled, skinned and coded by 1/2Hawk. A wherry is a carvel planked, straight sterned cargo ship with a distinctive single gaff sail placed well forward of the ships centerline. It first appeared in Norfolk England and was also used in the Thames river to carry goods and ferry passengers from place to place, with a maximum payload of up to 25 tons. In Shakespeare's time, up to 2,000 of these ships could be found bringing folks into the theater district in Southwark. Later its use spread to North America where it became a particularly popular boat used for salmon fishing. Its very low profile hull made it easy to navigate the inlets and waterways of the Atlantic coastline.

One of the naval maps where the Wherry will debut is on a new map called Sailors Warning - created by 1/2Hawk. This extremely ominous map is dominated on one edge by a towering volcano spewing ash and noxious fumes into the early morning twilight.
