Hull

The Hull of a ship is its basic body shape. In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, there are four styles of hull (Sloop, Galleon, Frigate, and Brig) in three classes (Light, Medium and War). A ship's hull is primarily constructed of a wooden frame to reinforce wood planks and paneling. Caulk and tar is seamed in between the planks to make the hull watertight.
