Some educational points reinforced by this game:

Each level is given royal approval with a certified letter-of-marque.
As Privateers of the 1780s-era in New England, identify your enemies - the French, the Spanish, the Americans (watch for flag of 1777) and other pirates. The player loses points for attacking other warships flying the Union Jack so be sure and check the other ship's flag BEFORE you fire cannons.
Booty rich in points collected include rum, livestock, gunpower, textiles, sugar, wine, cocoa and of course gold and silver.
The dangers of the sea take random lives! O ~ woe. Rocks, heavy waves and attacks from enemy ships will pick off your crew members.
As you get richer, you'll upgrade your ship from sloop to schooner to square rigger to barkantine.
As you advance levels, you'll replace your standard iron armaments with stainless steel and eventually brass.
