Shipwright says... The Dragon's steam engine makes her able to travel quickly in any direction. Press E to toggle steam engine on and off. Requires coal to use engine.Summary
The Dragon is the first Steamship available to craft at the Shipwright in the game. Its engine allows for fast travel wherever it is needed, regardless of wind direction. While her ability to trade is essentially null, her versatility and excellent maneuverability provide for a capable transport. As a combat ship, the dragon is decent but is often outclassed by more capable ships like the Phoenix The Dragon when used for pirating is a good way to counter the Fox or Steam Goose when they try to escape conventional ships by going upwind. In a navy role however, the Dragon is rarely seen in combat unless you need to catch a fleeing pirate ship.
Trivia
The Dragon's canvas top over her engine changes its color to match the dye color of the sails.
The Dragon is the only steam-ship with a speed 6 engine.
