- Gist: "Well, in any case, amongst other things I found map and charts detailing various French trade routes."
- Shay: "What are you thinking, Gist?"
- Gist: "I thought perhaps we could use them to, er, help the Royal Navy... and fill our pockets. I stored these maps in your cabin, Captain, should you wish to use them"
- —Shay Cormac and Christopher Gist talking about the founding of a fleet, 1756.[src]-[m]
Shay Cormac's fleet was a formation of ships captured in the north Atlantic Ocean during the Seven Years' War and captained by the Colonial Templar Shay Cormac. They were sent on various missions across the world, often aiding the British Empire during the war. At its height, the fleet consisted of 15 ships of different types, not including Shay's sloop-of-war Morrigan. While it was impossible for Shay to obtain Royal Navy ships through combat, he could capture those disabled by snow tornadoes in the Atlantic and add them to his fleet.[1]
The fleet began operating in mid-1756 after Shay helped the British capture Fort La Croix. There, his quartermaster Christopher Gist discovered various maps and charts detailing French trade routes and suggested to Shay that they use them to help the Royal Navy and enrich themselves in the process.[2]
