Venetian ships will be refered by MSRS - the Most Serene Republican Ship - before ship´s name. These abbreviations will distinguish same ship´s name from different nations and government warships from pivateers or privately-owned merchantmen. Because Venice was involved in the Cretan War 1645-1653, the start line for all lists is 1645.
The Most Serene Republic of Venice (Venetian: Serenìsima Repùblica Vèneta; Italian: Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia) was a Venetian city-state in Northeastern Italy, based around the city of Venice. It existed from the 9th century until the 18th century (1797). It is often referred to as the Serenissima, which is Latin for its title, "Most Serene."
