Wheel of the HMS Cape

The Wheel of the HMS Cape is a powerful magic item in Ultima IV, which makes a frigate much stronger in ship-to-ship fight, once used.

The HMS Cape was a mighty ship, built by the ship builder Hawkins. It was said that its wheel was magically enhanced to make the ship stronger, giving it more endurance; but even the wheel couldn't prevent the HMS Cape from being sunk by a terrible storm. Years later, the Stranger heard about the wheel. Faced with the pirate fleet guarding the Isle of the Avatar after gaining all eight partial avatarhoods, he/she found the wreck, and with it the wheel, at the Cape of Heroes, a little southeast of the Shrine of Honor. With the wheel mounted on the ship, it was easy to blast away the pirate fleet and reach the Abyss.
