Shipwright says... The Mercury's improved maneuverability make up for its lack of turrets. Press E to toggle steam engine on and off. Requires coal to run. *HAS NO SAILS*

The Mercury is an ironclad ship offering high health, this combined with its decent engine-speed of 7 and fast turning rate make it a high manoeuvrable ship. The armament of this ship consists of 4 Medium Cannon slots, 1 Medium cannon bow slot & 1 Medium cannon stern slot. Even though the armament of this ship might not be the best, it’s high manoeuvrability and unique turret placement make up for this. This all combined with its excellent armor protecting the crew from being sniped make the Mercury a great all rounded ship. The Mercury can operate independently but can also function as effective support ship in fleets.
