Bermuda Cedar

It's harder to obtain, and more expensive to produce, than Fir.

So what are it's redeeming qualities? what am i missing here?

Use https://na-map.netlify.com/  - List of Woods and Compare Woods to get stats of different Woods including Seasoned ones.

In short - a bit more heavy and stronger wood than Fir - less speed, but slightly more thickness and HP. Also less splinters (crew damage), less leaks and less fire probability

So all that scarcity and expense to be marginally tougher than Fir ships, that will either outrun you or chase you down.
Does anyone really choose it and use it?

However, if Fir and Bermuda were to swap properties, things would make more sense.
