 You will get your first ship, a Light Sloop, when Elizabeth Swann sends you on a special Quest. This ship is enough to get you around the Caribbean, but because it only has two cannons, you will be extremely vulnerable. As soon as possible, you'll want to buy a bigger better ship from a Shipwright.

You can own more than one ship –– if you can afford it. In fact, you can own a total of three ships! Consider your goals carefully. Each class of hull is designed to do one task superbly –– at the cost of other qualities, though. Purchase your ships from a Shipwright.

Sloop
Sleek, fast, and stealthy. Great if your style of pirating involves lightning raids and quicker escapes. The need for speed, however, means sacrificing firepower and cargo capacity.



Frigate
Ready for a fight above all else. Tough, maneuverable, and armed to the teeth with the most cannons of any ship type. Pack light, because this hull type carries less cargo than a Galleon.



Galleon
Sturdy, with large holds. This is your choice if you like plundering tons of booty before returning to port. Moderately armed, this is the slowest of the three hull types, but the hull is tougher than that of a Sloop.



Remember, bigger ships of each type carry more cannons and can accommodate larger crews, which will often make the difference between winning or losing battles at sea. They're also tougher, so you'll be able to out–sail foes and withstand more battering under enemy broadsides and ramming.

Shipwright
There's a Shipwright on every island. His shop is easy to recognize -- it's the beached hull down at the harbor. Visit the Shipwright if you're in the market for a ship. Better bring lots of gold though, sturdy ships are costly.
