Introduction[]

“	That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is...what the Black Pearl really is...is freedom.	”
	— Captain Jack Sparrow.

Let's face it: a pirate without a ship is like a gun without powder! Vessels that cross the seas come in many broad varieties for the tasks they have to perform. In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, there are three (3) sizes, and each class contains four different ship types (the latest of which is the Brig), except for the Ship of the Line.

Each class and type have their advantages and disadvantages, such as the War ships are stronger, and hold more pirates and cargo, but aren't as fast as the light ships for quick escapes.

All of these ships can be purchased at a shipwright on any main island (Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres Del Fuego, Cuba, Isla De La Avaricia and Ile D'Etable De Porc). A pirate may own up to three vessels at a time, so they may choose their vessel for a task at hand. Choosing only three ships sometimes proves to be hard for pirates.

If you want to get rid of your current ship, you can sell it at any shipwright, for half the original price. (Shipwrights don't barter, mate.)

A feature for customizing ships has also been made available for pirates.

Ship Status.[]

This Display appears below your Health And Voodoo Power bars when sailing. Your current speed is indicated by the arrow on the Sail Health bar. The Middle is for your Scoundrel of the Seas rank when you attack a Navy or EITC ship. Attacking a Skeleton ship will not do anything.

The green bars on either side of the icon of the ship represent the ship's hull panels. The panels absorb most damage until they are broken through. When the hull panels are destroyed, your ship will sustain greater damage when fired upon.

The Cargo icon displays how much cargo you have on the ship, and how much your ship can carry.

The Player Count icon displays how many people are on your ship. (This includes you.)

This button allows you to set your ship's Boarding Permission settings. You can either allow or forbid pirates who are Friends, Guild Mates, Crew, or Public to board your ship

Ship Details[]

To review the ships you have, click on the Ships Icon in the Sea Chest or press the H key.

There will be four bottles on the left displaying the ships the pirate owns. Click on a ship in a bottle to view the details.

The detail screen will show an image of the ship, its name and class. Below that, the ship's current Hull Points ("HP") and Sail Health ("Speed") is shown. At the bottom will appear the cargo, deck cannons, crew and broadsides.

Any damage to the vessel's hull will be show in colors:

• Green for Light or No Damage;

• Yellow for Moderate Damage;

• Red for Critical Damage.

(Note: Sail Health will not change color, and will always be yellow, no matter how much damage is sustained to the sails.)

(Note: Ship health will decrease over time if it is struck by firebrand shots.)

Ships For Sale[]

Shipwrights across the Caribbean sell a variety of four hull types in three different clases of vessel.

Ship of the Line[]

These vessels are monolithic symbols of naval might, similar to historical front line warships. They appear as Royal Navy or East India Trading Company Sea Bosses that are only found during Treasure Fleets (and formerly the EITC Expedition Fleets), working alongside Bounty Hunters or if you're lucky enough to have sailed one on the Test Server.

This class of ship was first seen in the updated Boss Battle as the HMS Goliath, though the class of the ship (below the name) lists it as a "Goliath" class.

These ships have been sighted from Level 59-81 and can fire massive broadsides of Chain Shot, Firebrand, Explosive and Round Shot - with extended range from their long nine guns.

If anyone attacks this sea fortress with a full troop of Navy Elites/EITC Tyrants, the guardians will attack at once, making engaging one a foolhardy task alone.

Ship Profile:

• Armor: 20,000
• Sails: 15,000
• Speed: 15
• Cannons: 14
• Broadsides: 24

Game Note[]

The Ship of the Line is currently the strongest ship in the Caribbean.

This ship is NOT available for purchase, but it briefly appeared on the test server on Aug 2nd in the Shipwright's menu for a cost of 200,000g (Max at the time), only a few people had the money and were lucky enough to be on the test server at the right time. It was removed the next day, but the pirates that bought it were allowed to keep it. It does appear to have generic hull and sails, not specific to a Royal Navy Ship of the Line. It has been confirmed that it was never intended to be released.

Historical Fact- Ships of the Line were the primary battleships of their day, the name coming from the tactics implemented at the time, of lining ships up for massive broadsides. Some had crews of over 1,100 men, who operated over 100, up to 12-foot guns that shot 42 pound cannonballs (That sure could ruin a pirate's day out!). Ships of the line were hardly ever sunk in battle (never by pirates), if so it was due to being set aflame by enemy boarders or their own crew to prevent capture.

Carrack[]

Carracks first appeared in the Raven's Cove Update. Carracks are not available for pirates to purchase. The only Carrack currently in the game is El Patron's Ship, which is landlocked on Raven's Cove near El Patron's Mine.

At the moment, all that is visible are the essentials of the ship - masts and sails, wheel, and the Loot Skull Chest which holds the three Lost Blades of El Patron.

Royal Navy Ships[]

The British Royal Navy operate a wide variety of ships out of Kingshead and Port Royal, based on the same design and hulls as pirate-owned ships. You can find Navy ships anywhere on the High Seas, but the further out you go, the class of vessel you encounter will be more dangerous.

You can easily identify Navy ships as they fly red and white sails. Flagships are manned by randomly determined Navy Cadets, Guards, Sergeants, Veterans and even Officers.

Navy Light Ships[]

These small ships can be an annoyance to high level players just passing by, but good practice for a beginner. They often sail around the safer waters of Tortuga and Port Royal.

Name	Class	Level	Hull Points
Ferret	Light Sloop	1-3	700-1,100
Bulwark	Light Galleon	6-7	2,000-2,600
Panther	Light Frigate	9-11	3,000-3,200

Navy Medium Ships[]

These ships are just a bit more dangerous to new pirates, but can be sunk easily by an experienced sailor. They can be found around a couple wild islands or on the back of Tortuga.

Name	Class	Level	Hull Points
Greyhound	Sloop	11-13	3,200-3,600
Vanguard	Galleon	15-17	6,800
Centurion	Frigate	19-20	7,500-8,000

Navy Warships[]

The Navy Warships can spell the end for a beginning pirate. However, they are often a favorite of experienced pirates because they are able to sink them and get good loot.

Kingfisher*	War Sloop	21-23	5,200
Monarch	War Galleon	25-27	10,000
Man O' War*	War Frigate	27-29	12,100
Predator	War Sloop	30-32	8,000
Colossus*	War Galleon	35-37	16,000
Dreadnought	War Frigate	35-39	14,500
Elite**	War Frigate	69-71	N/A

(*Can appear as flagships)

(**Only in Treasure Fleets)

Navy Ships of the Line[]

These ships are, without a doubt, the most powerful ships a pirate can ever come across. They are enormous, fast, and cannot be stopped alone. They can easily take down any ship, from Light Sloops to even a War Brig. To make matters worse, they fire at HUGE distances.

Name	Level	Hull
HMS Goliath	40	?
HMS Invincible	79-81	?
HMS Newcastle	79-81	?
HMS Victory	79-81	?

Navy warships, unlike their smaller vessels, fire more dangerous Firebrand rounds. The Goliath is only found in the Black Pearl Boss Battle. All other Ships Of The Line have only been encountered in Navy Treasure Fleets.

EITC Ships[]

The East India Trading Company is another enemy to the pirate, protecting their investment to exploit goods from the islands. They work with the Navy to attack and destroy pirate ships. You can identify the EITC ships as they fly grey and white sails. Flagships are manned by randomly determined EITC soldiers such as Thugs, Grunts, Hired-Guns, Mercenaries, and Assassins.

EITC vessels are harder to contend with than Navy vessels of the same class. They tend to have stronger armor, higher levels and more effective weapons.

Warships all pack Firebrand rounds, but the heaviest ships fire very dangerous Explosive rounds. Corsair, Juggernaut and Tyrant Upper Cannons are Firebrand rounds, and the Broadsides are Explosive rounds. However, the Behemoth is in the opposite way.

EITC Light Ships[]

One word can compare these light ships to the Navy light ships: Stronger. They can be a threat to beginning pirates. Some of them even attack with Firebrand rounds.

Name	Class	Level	Hull Points
Sea Viper	Light Sloop	6-8	1,700-2,100
Sentinel*	Light Galleon	10-11	4,400-4,800
Corvette*	Light Frigate	13-15	5,400-?

(*Can appear as flagships). The Sentinel also pack deadly Firebrand rounds.

EITC Medium Ships[]

These ships can pound a light vessel into a mere memory. They are armed, but lethal pirates can sink them in just a few broadsides.

Name	Class	Level	Hull Points
Bloodhound	Sloop	16	4,500
Ironwall	Galleon	21	N/A
Marauder	Frigate	24-25	9,300-9,700

Medium EITC ships pack more firepower in the form of Firebrand rounds.

EITC Warships[]

The EITC Warships strike fear into the heart of a beginner Pirate and pose a mighty threat to even experienced ones.

Name	Class	Level	Hull Points
Barracuda*	War Sloop	26-28	8,200
Corsair	War Sloop	36-38	N/A
Ogre	War Galleon	30-32	11,900
Behemoth	War Galleon	40-42	N/A
Warlord	War Frigate	33-35	14,000
Juggernaut	War Frigate	43-45	N/A
Tyrant**	War Frigate	69-71	N/A

(*Can appear as a flagship.)

(**Only in Treasure Fleets)

The EITC Tyrant only appears during a battle against the EITC Fleet - they are not as large as the original Navy Goliath, however their damage is much greater. The Juggernaut, however, is very rare. You must sail out into uncharted waters or on the outskirts of other areas to find them. They can be very tough, so be careful!

EITC Ships of the Line[]

Like their Royal Navy cousins, East India's Ships of the Line are the most powerful vessels in the Caribbean. They also have tremendous range and remarkable speed for a vessel of their size. Currently, they are only found leading EITC Treasure Fleets. This also means they will escorted by a compliment of Tyrants. This makes sinking them an even more difficult proposition.

Name	Level	Hull
Leviathan	79-81	N/A
Conqueror	79-81	N/A
Intrepid	79-81	N/A

Bounty Hunters[]

At Scoundrel Level 3, Pirate At Large, the Royal Navy will dispatch Bounty Hunter ships to attack you and take back your stolen loot.

Name	Level	Hull
Century Hawk	49-51	N/A
Cutter Shark	49-51	N/A
Flying Storm	49-51	N/A
Killyaded	49-51	N/A
Red Dervish	49-51	N/A
Scorned Siren	49-51	N/A
Vengeance	49-51	N/A

Warships[]

At Scoundrel level 4, Rogue on the Run, the Royal Navy sends out their finest Warships to hunt you down. They will relentlessly chase you until you are sunk or docked.

Name	Level	Type	Hull
En-Garde	59-61	War Frigate	N/A
Battle-Royale	59-61	Ship of the Line	N/A
Tally-ho	59-61	Ship of the Line	N/A
Queen's Triumph	59-61	War Brig	N/A

Skeleton Ships[]

The vengeful Jolly Roger has built a fleet of ghostly vessels, bringing these wrecked hulls to the surface and crewing them with minions of his undead army.

They can be found haunting many of the wild islands.

Name	Level	Hull
Phantom	17-19	N/A
Revenant	26-28	N/A
Storm Reaper	30-32	N/A
Black Harbinger	35-37	N/A
Death Omen	40-43	N/A

All Skeleton vessels are War Frigates and fire supernatural ammunitions like, Thunderbolt and Fury rounds, making them formidable opposition.

Game Note- They do not appear as reactive as EITC and Navy ships, and move little slower.

French and Spanish Skeleton Ships[]

There are additional skeleton ships associated with French Undead and Spanish Undead, who continue to fight for their countries in a struggle for control of the Caribbean.

French skeleton ships can be found near Isla Cangrejos, while Spanish skeleton ships can be found near Cutthroat Isle.

• Shadow Crow
• Cerberus
• Blood Scourge

All French and Spanish skeleton ships are War Sloop Flagships and manned by crews of French and Spanish undead. Just like other flagships, they must be boarded to be plundered. Like Skeleton vessels, the French and Spanish vessels fire supernatural rounds, but can also use Firebrand and Explosive rounds. There are no galleon Skeleton ships.

Legendary Ships[]

Certain vessels are well reknowned in the Caribbean, and their reputations are well-known among those who sail these waters. These are known as Legendary Ships. Currently there are only two such ships - one as a playable ship, and the other as an enemy

• The Black Pearl - Captain Jack Sparrow's pride and joy. Playable during the Black Pearl Boss Battle
• The Queen Anne's Revenge - The historically famous vessel captained by the notorious Blackbeard. However, he does not appear on The Queen Anne's Revenge during the Flagship Boss Battle.

Other Notable Ships[]

The other notable ships have either some part to play in the game, or are mentioned due to their appearance in the universe of Pirates of the Caribbean.

• Bastion - Navy War Galleon (lvl 59-61). This has only been seen on Test at this time.
