Game start
The Frigate is the first Vehicle you can get with a weapon. Its cannon has a three-square range and does pretty good damage. Its maximum damage isn't as high as your Weapons by a long shot, but it is much more consistent because its minimum damage is so high. On the overworld, the cannons are often a safer choice against all but the highest-HP Creatures.

Notes
Travels on water, can Fire cannons
Frigates are your only sea transporation, and are required to reach a number of Locations. Most notably, you need a Frigate to find Ambrosia or the Exotic Arms and Armour.
You can't buy or find a Frigate, but rather must claim them from Pirates. After defeating the Pirates in combat, the Frigate is yours to command.
There are a few points to note about Frigates. First, while Firing cannons is an effective way to remove enemies, you won't gain any treasure or experience by doing so. Second, you can only sail with the wind, so if the wind is calm or contrary to where you're going, you'll be stuck. Given how quickly the wind changes, this can get annoying fast. Finally, while touching the whirlpool while on a Frigate brings you to Ambrosia, if the whirlpool hits a Frigate you aren't riding, it will destroy it.
