The Second Lady's Fortune
The Second Lady's Fortune is the most famous ship throughout the world both because of the famous legends surrounding the captains who manned her and because the ship is still one of the fastest ships on the sea.
The original Lady's Fortune was wrecked on the Ingerlin Coastline in a bad storm that only Lorenzo Rossi and three other members of the crew survived. Once he earned enough coin, Lorenzo had a second ship made in the image of the original Lady's Fortune but with a few upgrades that made the ship faster and gave the ship bigger teeth. The Second Lady's Fortune was the ship he used to pillage and plunder ships along the The Farthest Expanse and was the ship he rode on when he created the blockade that helped destroy Braris.
This ship has gone through multiple repairs and upgrades and has survived countless storms and battles and has stayed within the Rossi family for generations. Occasionally, a pirate, who believes, they have what it takes to be called Pirate King, will attempt to take it by force but they rarely succeed and if they do they soon find the Lady's favor is hard won as most experience some kind of disaster shortly after taking the ship.

"No one can outrun the lady" I don't know why, but I chucked hard at that one. Cool ship!
Thank you very much!
Yeah, that's a real good quote. :D I like it! My only suggestion so far would be to maybe split up the first chunk of text into 2-3, make it easier to read? :)
