The '''Dragon''' is the first [[Steamship]] available to craft at the Shipwright. Its engine allows for fast travel against the wind direction. While its ability to trade is essentially null, its versatility and excellent maneuverability provide for a capable transport. As a combat ship, the dragon is lacking in firepower and outclassed by more capable ships. The Dragon's speed 6 engine is desirable for pirating and is a good way to counter the [[Fox]] or [[Steam Goose]] when they try to escape conventional ships by going upwind.

As a combat ship, the Dragon is lacking in firepower and outclassed by more capable ships with stronger broadsides and hulls, however its quick steam engine does give it a unique trait that still gives it some merit.
