Known as Great Bombards or just Bombards, they are ships built around a massive cannon that bring a tear of joy to any Giff each time they get to fire one of the massive cannonballs that cost 1000gp each. You could have bought an Emerald or a spyglass for that much money, or one-and-half for plate armor.

If a captain Giff doesn't have that much Dough, they could instead invest in an armor-plated bow Ram at maneuverability cost to just ram the enemy. And may the gods help the sod if that Giff captain dose have the ammunition as they are getting in "danger close".
