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
