Master Hawkins

Master Hawkins is a shipwright in East Britanny at The Oaken Oar in Ultima V.

His grandfather had, prior to Ultima IV, created the HMS Cape, the greatest ship ever made. However, it sank at the Cape of Heroes, from which the Avatar had previously recovered the Wheel of the HMS Cape. The plans for this ship had since been lost, so Master Hawkins relied upon his own knowledge to design ships. The plans were later found hidden in his own storeroom.

Ultima V: Lazarus
A foppish and immaculately dressed man, he readily bragged to the Avatar that even though he wasn't certain if he was the best shipwright in Britannia, he knew he was the only third-generation shipwright. He proudly told the hero that he was personally endorsed as the Royal Shipwright by Lord Blackthorn, saying the new regent was doing an excellent job, and how with the construction of Fogsbane and his patrolling of the seas, shipping was safer than ever. He merely felt that the people who opposed Blackthorn were afraid of change, while he himself embraced change, and that the people should be more concerned with defeating the Shadowlords.

He spoke proudly of his father who taught him his skill, and his grandfather who designed the HMS Cape. He wished that the plans were still available, so he could compare to his current designs to see if they were superior, but that his father had been in possession of the plans upon his death, and they had since been lost. He told the Avatar of how he merely designed ships, along with the help of Flint, Sir Adam, and Squire Jimmy, but it was Oreste who hammered the ships together.
