Ship Summary[]
"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*" - Shipwright Summary
The Mercury is an ironclad steamship released in December 20, 2022.
Ship Characteristics[]
The Mercury can be equipped with 2 medium cannons per broadside. There is also a stern and bow mount for cannons. The Mercury's cannons have longer range compared to the other ironclads. She has no turrets, however has armaments on all sides of the ship, eliminating the weakness of a potential stern/bowlock.

Trivia[]

- The Ironclad, like mentioned above, has protection on all sides, making it the first Ironclad with protection on every side without the aid of turrets.
- The Mercury is seemingly based on the Confederate casemate ironclad CSS Neuse.
- The Mercury was buffed in 30 December 2022 with max pitch modifiers on her cannons, allowing her to shoot farther.
