In reply to Adoven (msg # 22):
from the descriptions section at the bottom of the page :)

A pair of small fishing vessels that can also carry small amounts of cargo.
Your 1500 gets you two fishing boats and makes work for fishermen/Sailors to run them - as well as homes for them, their wives and families.
Boats (ships, caravans and Mule trains) are more expensive than many other developments because they have a much higher rate of return. However, you need to have the basic set up - ie Jetties, Docks of Serai before you can use them.
As there are restrictions on the numbers of each development that can be built in a settlement - Adoven and Vik could have river-borne trade between Ringbridge and Tusk Town sewn up for a while :)
