Adventure Galley, also known as Adventure, was an English merchant ship captained by Scottish sea captain William Kidd. She was a type of hybrid ship that combined square rigged sails with oars to give her manoeuvrability in both windy and calm conditions. The vessel was launched at the end of 1695 and was acquired by Kidd the following year to serve in his privateering venture. Between April 1696 and April 1698, she travelled thousands of miles across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in search of pirates but failed to find any until nearly the end of her travels. Instead, Kidd himself turned pirate in desperation at not having obtained any prizes. Adventure Galley succeeded in capturing two vessels off India and brought them back to Madagascar, but by the spring of 1698 the ship's hull had

  • Adventure Galley var ett tremastat fartyg som var piraten Kapten Kidds flaggskepp. Den 287 ton tunga Adventure Galley hade 23 par åror och 34 kanoner ombord och en besättning på omkring 150 man. Hon sjönk vid ön Île Sainte-Marie, tidigare piratbas utanför Madagaskars nordöstra kust. Hon rensades och sattes i brand. Resterna av skeppet finns fortfarande kvar på grunt vatten utanför ön. 2015 bärgades en blytacka på platsen som felaktigt påstods vara en del av kapten Kidds silverskatt. (sv)

  • Die Adventure Galley war das Kampfschiff des Piraten William Kidd. Sie lief im Dezember 1695 in der Deptforder Werft an der Themse vom Stapel und war eine Mischung aus Segel- und Ruderschiff. Insgesamt konnten 2.600 m² Segel gehisst werden, mit denen eine Geschwindigkeit von 14 Knoten möglich war. Auf jeder Seite des 124 Fuß langen Rumpfes befanden sich 23 Riemen, die dem Schiff bei voller Bemannung noch eine Geschwindigkeit von 3 Knoten verliehen. Die Spanten waren sehr dicht nebeneinander gesetzt, weswegen die Adventure Galley für ein Schiff ihrer Klasse recht schwer war (287 t). Die Besatzung bestand aus 150 Mann, die Bewaffnung aus 34 Kanonen. (de)
