Shipwright's Guild
Shipbuilding is one of the
largest manufacturing activities in
Terusha. Every port, large or small,
has one (and only one) shipyard,
which is operated by a freemaster
of the Shipwrights’ Guild. Most of
these guildsmen are highly respected
and prosperous members of their
community. A master shipwright is
fully qualified in the arts of vessel design, construction,
and outfitting. His shipyard, depending on size, may
produce anything from large sea-going ships to small
river craft.
While their monopoly does not cover rope-making, shipwrights usually produce the best cordage and cable. Metal fittings are subcontracted to freemaster metalsmiths or made by bonded metalsmiths in the shipwright’s employ. Most master shipwrights are bonded to the freemaster holding the local franchise; some are bonded as ships’ carpenters
