Whaling and Fishing Vessels

[PlankGJE 10]

Boat classes that specialize in fishing, would add another job to the list and more trade commodity. Have perks for catching fish and how much oil you harvest.

+1 This would be cool.

a schooner or brig with Balestras are good wale hunters.

Or add a harpoon weapon that does bonus damage to Creatures in the water. Maybe even make it where if you kill the whale, shark or fish with said harpoon or spear it counts as a higher quality kill and therefore grants bonus resources. Whaling should be lucrative  but it should also be very dangerous. The Dingy should be a key part of whaling as well. Schooner sized ship or larger drops a dingy full of crew with a couple crew members equip with spears or harpoons. It seems the most fun and dangerous that way. The added bonus to adding a harpoon or tweaking the spear is that the Strong Arm Perk is already available, granting bonus damage to projectiles not shot from a cannon or gun i.e. arrows and thrown spears. This added to the skills that increase the gathering from the sea life would make for a fun time in my opinion.
