"The Prometheus's steam engine allows her to quickly move upwind. Press E to toggle steam engine on and off. Requires coal to use engine." - Shipwright Summary

Summary
The Prometheus is a level ten steamship with high health and armament, good cargo, and a low speed buffed with steam engines. She is a good general ship for whatever tasks given to her, but like other level 10 ships, she is vulnerable to being flanked by fast enemies such as a Marauder or even a Steamfish, which their small size can avoid some of the shots fired from the Prometheus.

Along with the cannon rework the top deck mediums having lower poundage than the bottoms heavies allow it to shoot much farther as such deal easy early damage to any incoming ships, the sway or tilt of the ship with an engine can also be used to help your bottom deck gunners to outrange any ship with similar size cannons. (see Atlas or Astraeus for details on cannon armaments.)

The Prometheus is also the first ship to be introduced with proper double-deck guns allowing it to have six cannons per broadside, therefore dealing more damage. This makes it much more favorable than it's old ship statistics.

Trivia

 * The only steamship in the atlas family ships
 * The Prometheus was formerly considered a waste of materials as there were only 6 size 8 cannons, but after a buff it is now an extremely viable combat ship.
