Atlas

The Atlas is one of the largest mercantile ships in the game, with a high cargo capacity and a very large profile. Despite being a trade vessel, it has a very powerful broadside, however due to its slow turn rate and mediocre speed it is vulnerable to pirate attacks. The Atlas used to be among the most popular trading ships for both solo traders and crews.

Shipwright says... The Atlas's awesome cargo capacity and armament more than makes up for her lack of speed.
