   A merchantman is a term historically used to refer to a ship or vessel used for commercial trade or cargo transport. These ships are typically owned by businesses or merchants, rather than individual explorers or military personnel. It is not designed for warfare, though may carry weapons for protection against pirates and other threats. Sometimes, the term is also used to refer to the merchant or trader who operates such a ship.
