Why choose Warley as a favourite East Indiaman?

Warley's appearance and a good individual portrait explain the preference.

Question

Which East India Company ship is your favourite?

Short answer

Warley, for her appearance and because a good individual painting makes her easier to examine than ships seen mainly in convoy scenes.

Notes

Warley is selected partly for her appearance. She is also one of the Pulo Aura ships for which a good individual painting is available in the discussion. That gives a clearer view of one vessel than the general group paintings used for much of the convoy. The choice is a personal preference rather than a ranking of ship performance.
