If you're chasing the Dilettante trophy in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, you already know the Great Inagua Manor needs a lot of stuff to fill up. One of the trickiest categories to wrap your head around is the Ship Models section. Some of these come from just playing the story, others need you to hunt down specific ship types at sea, and a couple are locked behind side quests most players skip. Let's break down where all of the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Ship Models come from so you're not left guessing.
Ship Models Usage in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced
Ship Models are one of six collectible categories you need for full manor decoration in the Art Collection. You'll find them listed under Codex > Database > Art Collection: Ship Models, and once collected, they go on display in the Fleet Planning room back at Great Inagua Manor.

There are 20 Ship Models total, and they work differently from your other collectibles. You're not picking these up off the ground or diving for them. Instead, you earn most of them by defeating specific ship types out on the open water, with the rest tied to story missions and one side questline.

How to Get Ship Models in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced
Identify Ship Types at Sea
Before you go hunting, pull out your Spyglass whenever you spot a ship on the horizon. This lets you check what class it is before engaging, which saves you from wasting time boarding the wrong type.
Here's a quick way to tell them apart just by looking:
| Ship Type | How to Spot It |
|---|---|
| Cutter | The tiniest ship on the water and cannot be boarded |
| Schooner | Small merchant vessel |
| Brig | Has a ram sticking out the front |
| Frigate | Medium-sized without any ram |
| Man o' War | Massive warship |
You'll also notice each ship type comes in both a Spanish and English version, and you need to sink or board one of each to unlock its model.
Farm the Regional Ship Types
Easy regions sit in the north, near Dry Tortuga and Gibara, and that's where you'll run into Cutters, Schooners, and Brigs. Once you push south toward Chinchorro and Serannilla, the difficulty ramps up, and that's your spot for Frigates and Man o' Wars.

My tip here is don't rush south too early. The hard difficulty ships hit back way harder, and if your Jackdaw isn't upgraded yet, you'll waste a lot of cannonballs for nothing. Grind the northern waters first, upgrade your ship's hull and broadside cannons, then head down.
Defeat the Legendary Ships and the Side Quest
Four of your models, El Impoluto, HMS Prince, La Dama Negra, and Brothers in Arms, only drop after you beat their matching Legendary Ship fights. These are proper boss battles at sea, so go in prepared with a fully upgraded Jackdaw.

Everything is Permitted Quest
The last one, HMS Ipswich, is easy to miss because it's buried in a side questline called "A World Without Gold." This unlocks in Great Inagua after Sequence 11, Mission 03: Everything Is Permitted. It runs across 8 quests:
- That Bastard Maynard
- Not Even a Real Captain
- What the Devil!
- It's a Start
- Not Our Natural Allies
- I Just Want to Talk
- A Cockalorum
- A World Without Gold
Finish the whole chain, and the model is yours.
Getting all 20 Ship Models isn't hard, but you just need to plan properly. Play through the story for the first five, hunt down both nationalities of every ship class using your Spyglass to confirm type, beat the four Legendary Ships, and don't forget to run the Great Inagua side questline for HMS Ipswich.
Knock these out alongside your other manor collectibles (Paintings, Character Portraits, and Art Collection Pieces), and the Dilettante trophy will be within reach.

FAQs
Defeating them is what counts, whether through boarding or sinking, so either method unlocks the model.
No, the side questline "A World Without Gold" only becomes available after reaching Mission 03 of Sequence 11.
Most players find the Legendary Ships toughest since they're full boss fights, so make sure your Jackdaw is upgraded before attempting them.
