The French Xebex Misticque of 1750 was built in the Marseilles shipyards around the middle of the eighteenth century, and sailed until the beginning of the nineteenth. She was a three master, being equipped with a lateen sail on the foremast, and square sails on both the main and mizzen masts. If becalmed or in difficulties with her sails, she could revert to her oars. She was a trading vessel, but was designed for speed and to defend herself from privateer attacks, she was provided with 18 guns. The Misticque had a constricted area of covered quarters, but she was a trader, most of the Misticque’s space below decks was dedicated to the stowing of the cargo, with subsequent sacrifice of the crew’s living quarters, sadly a not uncommon thing in trading vessels of that era.
