Description
Behold, the Shylock!
This is the flagship belonging to the trader nation and naval power of Tarantia, in my own parallel / fantasy world. It works as a warship and a trader ship, depending on what is mostly needed.

The design is derived from the Greek Trireme, and numerous ships from the Late Middle Ages / Renaissance.
Its features are:

Height: 250 meters

Length: 410 meters

Armament:

x200 Stationary Repeater Ballistas (100 on each side) /

x11 Deck Catapults, mounted on rotatable platforms (1 at the bow, and 5 pairs going down along the deck) /

Reinforced Thorium "Ramblade" at the bow, enchanted to look like gold. The name explains its use!

Ammunition:

(Ballista) Steel Tipped Bolts / Heat Tipped Bolts (Contained in chambers that hold an average of 20 bolts, thus can fire one full broadside of 2000 bolts in 20-40 seconds, if left unchallenged)

(Catapult) Normal rocks / Fiery Rocks / "Greek Fire " glass containers, that break upon impact.

Crew Number: Extremely uncertain, but I have a very rough estimate of 1000.. Plus/Minus

Was initially meant as a simple sketch, but a certain couple of people made me make into a bit more >: D
