I can't think of many others that are torn and black, but I may be forgetting some.

Skeleton Ship?

Was my first thought too.

yeah but there sails aren't black it could be a dev ship with new sails that they only have

Maybe the Festival of the Damned sails?

I know these aren't torn, but they are ghostly! (maybe those vertical lines gave off the impression of being torn top to bottom?) I think these are pretty rare too (maybe not in terms of ownership, but people actually equipping them) as I don't often see them out on the seas.

There's a list of every sail in the game here: https://seaofthieves.gamepedia.com/Sails

@closinghare208 It was a player galleon with solid black sails with many vertical tears (shredded) from top to bottom. It looked a little like a ghost galleon but I boarded it at Reapers Hideout and stole some of their fish before getting killed. I saw it at a few locations throughout the night. I'm wondering if another area of the world had a promotion for it? France, Brazil etc.....

maybe but our dear mate @Musicmee would have let us know and I still think it's a dev ship
