{{vehicle \|type={{cat tag\|watercraft\|Warship}}~~[[Category: Weapons]]~~ \|world=First of the Sun \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[Sixth of the Dusk]] }} The '''ironhull''' is a ~~new class~~type of steam-powered ship from the [[Eelakin Islands]] on [[First of the Sun]].{{book ref\|sixth}} ==Characteristics== It holds up to two hundred soldiers, and a hundred scientists and merchants. According to [[Vathi]] it is able to stand against [[deepwalker]]s though some attack the expedition and destroy at least one ironhull. {{quote \|We have two ironhulls armed with cannons watching the waters. Those can take on even a deepwalker, if they have to. \|[[Vathi]]{{book ref\|sixth}} }} The ships are "enormous" in size and outfitted with cannons. Although ironhulls have the capabilities of a warship, they are not used in battle, but rather for traveling through the dangerous seas near the [[Pantheon]] islands. The waters of the Pantheon contain massive creatures known as [[deepwalker]]s, and the reinforced hulls of the ships are intended to defend against the deepwalker's attacks. The cannons mounted on the ships are quite powerful, as they are able to kill a deepwalker.{{book ref\|sixth}} ==History== Vathi notes that the Eelakin people have only recently worked out marine propulsion,{{book ref\|sixth}} implying that the ironhulls are brand new technology; this rapid advancement in marine engineering was likely influenced by the [[Ones Above]]. Ironhulls are used as mercantile ships by the [[Northern Interests Trading Company]], transporting equipment and personnel to the Pantheon, where the Company traps [[Aviar]] for resale. [[Eusto]] and his team bring at least two ironhulls on the [[Patji expedition]]. [[Dusk]] sees a "mountainous" deepwalker carcass near the Company's fortress on [[Patji (island)\|Patji]], confirming the capabilities of the ships.{{book ref\|sixth}} == Notes == <references /> {{complete\|[[User:Big Smooth\|Big Smooth]] ([[User talk:Big Smooth\|talk]]) 08:48, 1 July 2019 (MST)}} ~~{{stub}}~~ {{Sixth of the Dusk}} [[es:Casco de hierro]]
