	During the [[Golden Age of Piracy\|early 18th century]], the brig represented a compromise between the more powerful classes of ship, such as the [[frigate]] and [[Man O' War]], and the faster, but less well-armed [[schooner]] and [[gunboat]]. A brig bore two masts, and was capable of fielding, on average, twenty-four guns over a single gun deck and the main deck; on top of this, they were commonly fitted with a naval ram.		==History==
			During the [[Golden Age of Piracy\|early 18th century]], the brig represented a compromise between the more powerful classes of ship, such as the [[frigate]] and [[Man O' War]], and the faster, but less well-armed [[schooner]] and [[gunboat]]. A brig bore two masts and was capable of fielding, on average, twenty-four guns over a single gun deck and the main deck; on top of this, they were commonly fitted with a naval ram.<ref name="AC4"/>

	In battle, brigs typically alternated between delivering broadsides and ramming. They could move faster than most ships but could be easily checked by fire barrels.

	One notable brig in operation during this time was the ''[[Jackdaw]]'', owned by a [[Piracy\|pirate]] ~~named~~ [[Edward Kenway]]. The ''Jackdaw'' was unique in that it was significantly more well-armed and armored than others of its class, fielding armaments on a par with ~~the~~ Man O' War.<ref~~>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''<~~/~~ref~~>		One notable brig in operation during this time was the ''[[Jackdaw]]'', owned by the [[Piracy\|pirate]] and eventual [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Edward Kenway]].

	Another notable brig was the ''[[Aquila]]'', captained by Edward's grandson, [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]. The ''Aquila'' was the one-time flagship of the [[Assassins\|~~Assassin~~]] fleet, but after decades at sea, her damaged shell was left to erode and decay in the bay at the [[Davenport Homestead]]. During the [[American Revolution]], she was rebuilt and participated in many naval engagements on the East Coast and in the [[Caribbean]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>		[[File:AC3 Aquila Homestead Bay.png\|thumb\|250px\|left\|The ''Aquila'']]
