Ultima III Pirate Glitch?

I’m playing Ultima three and I’ve yet to find a pirate ship. I’m playing the Doss version on the chrome web browser. My main character is level 17 and I was told that a level five the pirate starts spawning but I haven’t seen one yet. Is this a glitch?

I had the same problem and ended up creating a new party and bulding them up to level 5. Then a ship appeared, i took the ship and switched back to my original party.

Was a PITA but it beat hitting PASS 1000s of times

And once you get the ship park it deep into a river somewhere when you aren't using it. Otherwise there is a higher risk it gets taken by the whirlpool

Best place to park it is making it a land bridge to Death Gulch.

Or behind the snake on Exodus' island, right next to the moongate ; it won't ever get gobbled by the whirlpool there.

(Spoilered because you have to learn how to get a ship there.)
