The Perseus is a ship created by the Kingdom of Science. Constructed over the course of a year, the Kingdom aims to use it to sail to South America in order to identify the origins of the Petrification.
The construction of the Perseus is a major focus of the Age of Exploration Arc.
History
After defeating Tsukasa and the Tsukasa Empire, Senku and the Kingdom of Science set their sights on discovering the cause of the Petrification. Believing that the answer to this mystery lies in South America, they begin to develop a ship capable of crossing the Pacific Ocean.
Senku develops the schematics for the Perseus. (Several other members of the Kingdom of Science develop alternative concepts, including Yo and Magma.) Ryusui leads the construction of the project, ultimately becoming its captain on completion. Construction takes approximately a year to complete.
