The ships appear constructed of cast iron.


Aside from the electro-magnetic components that comprise the hover capabilities, the ship main construction is cast iron, like the Monitor from the American Civil War. That would be terribly heavy and overall brittle when you get right down to it. Sure, they might deflect a few cannonballs, but, useless against the high technology of the machines.
