The Silver Hart – from Raven in Britain's harbor. The Crown Jewel – used by the Fellowship, found at the Isle of the Avatar. The Excellencia – only in the planning stage by Owen of Minoc. The Dragon's Breath – from Lady Jehanne in Serpent's Hold. The Lusty Wench – from Budo in Buccaneer's Den. The Nymphet – from Russell in New Magincia. ![]() The Golden Ankh – only with Forge of Virtue, from Lord British, found in Vesper. The Dutchman – shipwrecked on the Fens of the Dead. Shipwrecked somewhere near Serpent's Hold. HMS Cape – Legendary ship whose speed and power was of such potency that merely equipping a ship with its magic wheel would steel the strength of the mundane vessel's hull. The following prominent ships were found: By the time of the events of Ultima VI cannon-equipped vessels were still common, although ships were generally sold without skiffs to accompany them. It was in this period as well that skiffs first became a common piece of equipment on sea-faring vessels, allowing for further exploration of coastal shoals and rivers.Įven after the eventual destruction of lighthouses in the upheaval that followed the Underworld's collapse, frigates continued to be the standard ship for travel for several years. During the age of the Oppression, the mariners of the realm were likely at the apex of their calling – with frigates back on the open market and with the erection of the four manned lighthouses to guide wayward sailors to shore. Legends such as the Cape aside, it was not until the days of Blackthorn's regency that shipwrights became a common sight amidst the coastal cities of Britannia. It is said that for generations after this prodigious vessel sailed and sank that its likeness was not matched, owing to the misplacement of its blueprints by its inventor's descendants. Ship craft was still in practice during these dark days of high piracy, and it was, in fact, in this very era that the legendary HMS Cape was built – a ship whose speed and power was of such potency that merely equipping a ship with its magic wheel would steel the strength of the mundane vessel's hull. In this age and for several years to follow, a frigate could most commonly be procured by fighting against a raiding crew bold enough to attack one's party on shore and then claiming their ship after dispatching them. ![]() Later, during the incursions of Exodus in Ultima III, such vessels were scarce to come by amongst honest vendors, with the pirates of the era having secured the vast majority of the water ways. In this age, ships could be procured for a little under six-hundred pence and were available throughout the coastal “transport shoppes" which dotted Sosaria's landscape. Frigates were first available in the early days of Sosaria, during the events of Ultima I. The frigate has long been the ship of choice for adventurers, explorers and pirates alike, allowing sailors to maneuver the realm's oceans with cannons in tow.
