The ship of the line evolved from the galleon, a three- or four-masted vessel that had a high superstructure on its stern and usually carried heavy guns along two decks.

Ship of the lines could be as long as 200 feet, hold 120 cannons and carry a crew of over 1000 soldiers if needed.

A ship of the line was a type of naval warship constructed from the 17th through to the mid-19th century to take part in the naval tactic known as the line of battle, in which two columns of opposing warships would maneuver to bring the greatest weight of broadside guns to bear. Since these engagements were almost invariably won by the heaviest ships carrying the most powerful guns, the natural progression was to build sailing vessels that were the largest and most powerful of their time.

Ship of the Lines were primarily military vessels, so few were owned by common citizens. It would also be unlikely that average citizens or adventurers would have access to a shipyard capable of building such ships.
