HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
ágil lobos marinos is merchant galleon ship, owned by Spain to cargo stuff through atlantic sea. This galleon is race-built smaller version of galleon with 1 gun deck instead of two, perfect for long voyages threw sea.
Ship is not real, and there was no such a ship with such a name back in 18th century.
Hope you like it :)

Information
Info about ship
The galleon was an ocean going ship. A lowering of the forecastle and elongation of the hull gave galleons an unprecedented level of stability in the water, and reduced wind resistance at the front, leading to a faster, more maneuverable vessel. The galleon differed from the older types primarily by being longer, lower and narrower, with a square tuck stern instead of a round tuck, and by having a snout or head projecting forward from the bows below the level of the forecastle... The expenses involved in galleon construction were enormous. Hundreds of expert tradesmen (including carpenters, pitch-melters, blacksmiths, coopers, shipwrights, etc.) worked day and night for months before a galleon was seaworthy. To cover the expense, galleons were often funded by groups of wealthy businessmen who pooled resources for a new ship. Therefore, most galleons were originally consigned for trade, although those captured by rival states were usually put into military service.
