Sink all 3 ships by firing on their weak spots. Patience is key. Firstly, use chain shot to disable the ships, secondly ram the front of the ships at half speed, if a weak spot doesn't appear then repeat ramming at a reduced pace so you do not destroy the ship, switch to round shot to shoot at the weak spot. Repeat for all 3 ships. I had all ship upgrades at this point.
