Yes, the Palos de la Frontera, a Spanish port, supplied Christopher Columbus with ships and crews for his voyage in 1492. The local rulers, the Pinzón brothers, played a significant role in providing both financial support and crew members for the expedition. Columbus's fleet consisted of three ships: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María, all of which were outfitted in Palos.
Henry Hudson sailed with various crews during his explorations in the early 17th century.

A bounty ship is typically used in maritime contexts to capture or pursue vessels that are wanted for specific crimes, such as piracy or illegal fishing. These ships often operate under a bounty system, where crews are incentivized with rewards for apprehending offenders or recovering stolen goods. Bounty ships may also be involved in naval operations, enforcing laws and regulations in territorial waters.
The number of pirates on a crew varied widely depending on the ship and time period, but typical pirate crews could range from a dozen members to over a hundred. Smaller ships, like sloops, might have around 20-50 pirates, while larger vessels, such as frigates, could accommodate 100 or more. Crews often fluctuated due to battles, desertions, and recruitment. Ultimately, the size of a pirate crew was influenced by the ship's capacity and the operational goals of the pirates.
