Ships

Ships are Windrose's player-owned naval vessels, built at the Wharf from salvaged timber, ingots, and fabrics. Every ship falls into one of three hull classes, Brig, Frigate, or Ketch, each available in Stock, Blackbeard, and Brethren variants. This page indexes all nine hulls and links each one to its cannon, hull bracing, naval tactics, and boarding party options.

Ship Class Overview

Stock ships are the balanced baseline: moderate hitpoints, cargo, and battery. Blackbeard variants sacrifice armor and cargo for speed and heavier-caliber guns; Brethren variants double down on hitpoints and cargo at the cost of sail speed. Pick the class that matches your preferred playstyle, then build all three variants over time so you can swap hulls for different mission types.

Ship Equipment Slots

Every ship has four equipment slots that captains fill at the Wharf interface: a cannon slot, a hull bracing slot, a naval tactics slot, and a crew equipment slot. The items you can fit in each slot are gated by the hull class and by whether you've learned the corresponding Plan paper.
