Ships are built at the Shipyard and help to blockade other harbours or defend your towns from overseas assault, except for Cargo Ships, which are built in Trading Ports and used for transport rather than combat.

The building costs of ships are reduced by 10% across the board (all resource costs, but not men, gold, or time) if the Shipyard is on an island with the Temple of Poseidon marvel. The wood cost may be further reduced by a Carpenter; the sulphur cost by a Firework test area, and the crystal cost (for the Diving Ship) by an Optician.

[edit] Cargo Ship

Trade ships are the most important support for your island empire. No matter whether they have to transport goods, units or news: your seamen will make sure that everything arrives at its destination quickly and safely.

Every cargo ship costs more than your previous one. Cargo ships cannot be destroyed. Cargo ships are purchased at a Trading Port. Purchase cost is reduced by 10% if the Trading Port is on an island with the Temple of Hermes marvel.
They can hold up 500 Goods or the equal amount in Units (each unit has a size in goods).
Trade ships are available for carriage in any of your own towns without the need for transport of the ship.
