Hull

The Hull of a ship is its basic body shape. In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, there are four available types of hull (Sloop, Galleon, Frigate, and Brig) in three classes (Light, Medium and War). A ship's hull is primarily constructed of a wooden frame to reinforce wood planks and paneling. Caulk and tar is seamed in between the planks to make the hull watertight.

Hulls on Medium and War class ships can be upgraded to improve speed, cargo and armor as well broadside capabilities in higher versions.

Rank I-III Hulls

The hull is the body of the ship, constructed of timbers and sealed watertight with caulk. There are three types of basic hull upgrade paths a pirate can purchase, and then another five advanced ones.
