The Katariah

Docked in the Haafingar Hold, it's likely named after Katariah I, the former Dunmer Empress during the Third Era. The Katariah appears during Hail Sithis quest and is docked for rest of the game. To enter The Katariah, the Dragonborn must pull the anchor chain at the ship's stern.

Design
On the bow of ship sits the carved effigy of an Elven woman, while a statue on the prow displays a winged dragon figure. The woman on the bow is presumed to be Katariah.

Interactions
If the Dragonborn has been appointed Listener of the Dark Brotherhood during the Fourth Era, they will infiltrate The Katariah to assassinate Emperor Titus Mede II on a contract set up by Amaund Motierre from the Elder Council.

The Emperor sails on The Katariah, while visiting Castle Dour in Solitude. He visits Skyrim after his cousin, Vittoria Vici, is assassinated at her own wedding by the Dragonborn.

 * On the deck, if a Dragon attacks, it is possible for it to land in the water. This, however, does not harm the Dragon, and it eventually resurfaces.
