For nostalgic reasons I was playing the original Port Royale the other night when my convoy was attacked by pirates. Needless to say I dispatched of these black hearted scoundrels and in doing so captured one of their vessels.
I then sailed to the nearest port to do some trading, where I took the captured ship (which I had rather badly damaged in my efforts to secure) out of the convoy and left it unassigned in the port (thinking I could repair it and come back for it later rather than limp with it across the ocean at risk of further attack.
Unfortunately, I went to carry out the second part of that plan and was rather irritated to find that I can't find it! It doesn't display as a waiting convoy anywhere (in the list or on the map icon) and I can't remember which town I left it in! If I try to click towns from the map I can't view them as I don't have a convoy docked there so I don't really know how best to search for it (or if it was just immediately scuttled when I left it in port unattended).
It's a long shot - but does anyone have any advice?
