Shipmate is a regular dungeon mob in The Pirate Ship with two versions: an Iron Axe Vindicator and a Crossbow Pillager. Both variants ignore player projectile damage and cannot be knocked back.
The Iron Axe version traps players in temporary cobwebs, while the Crossbow version pulls and levitates them on hit. Hard adds Shield Wall to both, and Mythic adds Attack Push.

How to Beat It
Neither Shipmate variant can be knocked back, and player projectiles deal no damage, so plan around close-range pressure. Against the Iron Axe version, getting hit can pin you in a cobweb for 3 seconds while it gains Speed III.
The Crossbow version can pull you inward and give Levitation I for 5 seconds on hit. Hard and Mythic can add shield walls to either version, while Mythic adds knockback on their hits.
