One thing sadly lacking from [[Books/SavageSeas | Savage Seas]]' ship descriptions is a notation on how much cargo each ship can carry. This is rather important for Guild or piratical campaigns... These are some ballpark figures for the cargo ships in [[Books/SavageSeas | Savage Seas]]; military ships are not included, because triremes and biremes aren't meant to carry more than about a ton or so and trimaran hulls were a real pain in the butt to figure out.
