Seafaring ships can be purchased using gold, and can travel in the ocean
wilds around the edges of continents.  Typically, the owner buys the
ship in a port, enters the ship, christens it, then uses the
'ship set' command to allow friends and group members on board.

Once the ship is christened and ready, you can use the 'sail' command to
go exploring. Ships can be used to travel to otherwise unreachable
islands, transport cargo for trade or gather resources for sale (if you
have a ship that can mount equipment). There are various ships for sale,
each of which was its own characteristics.

You will need to periodically stop your ship so the crew can rest and
recover morale. Smaller, faster ships can go further between without
stopping than larger, slower ships.

The most well-known shipyards can be found in Anchorhead, Dragon Tooth,
Daigaku-Tatami, Emerald City, Elborat, Finspang, Naginag and Ritterholm.
Many other less-known seaports are scattered along the coasts of the world.

Currently operating ports can be viewed using the 'ports' command.

To trade at a port, use the 'dock' command when you are next to the port.
Your ship will move into the port while it is docked. To leave a port, use
the 'undock' command.
