If I read the rules correctly (the French version is barely readable), when there is an encounter at sea, the smallest ship has the advantage of placing last. Perhaps a matter of maniability.
Correct.
SoB pg17
Ships are then placed on the map, starting with the largest and proceeding to the smallest (brigantines first, then galleys, then sloops). If both the overlord’s ship and the party’s ship is the same size, the heroes must place their ship first.
What happens if there is no opposing ship involved ? (like the Giant or Manticores)
It goes ships, then hero figures, then monsters, so the monsters will always set up after the Revenge. See pg 17.

Hero Setup
Once all of the ships are placed on the map, the heroes may place their figures on any square on their ship that they could normally enter.
...
Monster Setup
After the heroes are placed on the map, the overlord places the leader and his minions on the map. Figures without the Soar or Swim abilities must be placed on the NPC ship. Figures with the Soar or Swim abilities may be placed along any edge of the ocean map, but they must be at least five spaces away from the heroes’ ship. Large monsters must be placed completely on the map.
