Upgrade Ship
You will soon find out that journeys to London or Riga are not always relaxing. Therefore, you
should make sure that your ships can defend themselves. The shipyard offers a service to
upgrade your ship so that more weapons can be placed on its deck. Note that an upgrade will
convert storage space into weapon slots.
Every ship can be upgraded twice, but keep in mind that it is going to lose a considerable part
of its storage capacity. A snaikka with a capacity of 15-25 bushels, for instance, won’t accommodate
more than 5-15 bushels after the second upgrade.
The shipyard only works on the ship itself. You will have to buy the appropriate weapons from
the weapon smith.
List of Contracts
The list of contracts will inform you about the status of the current orders. If necessary, you can
remove one of the ships from the list. You will then get 90% of your money back but none of the
materials. If, however, the shipyard has already started to work on the ship, there is no way out
and you will have to wait till it’s finished.
Note: You should place orders at the shipyard regularly. A shipyard that is booked out will hire
new workers, reduce construction times, and therefore raise your standing. This, in turn, makes
it easier for you to reach your goal of becoming mayor.
Change Ship’s Name
You can also rename ships that are at anchor at the shipyard. This service is free, and you don’t
even have to wait until the paint is dry. You can sail on right away.
The Harbourmaster
Right at the harbor, there is a little building belonging to the harbormaster.
He will gladly give you a list of all the ships that are currently at anchor in
the port if you ask for it by clicking on his house.
