As a skilled shipping agent around 1900 you build up a blooming merchant fleet. With your steamships, you maintain regular lines from Europe to important ports all around the globe. With newer ships you can push your rivals out of their traditional ports. With the fastest ship in the North Atlantic you can compete for the prestigious Blue Riband. Supply your steamships with coal so that they are ready to earn income. Trade houses in ports can generate additional income. As the ships constructed between 1870 and 1914 grow bigger and ever more expensive, you have to act smart to keep your cash flowing. Keep an eye on your rivals when making your decisions throughout the game. They are keen to buy the best ships before you or occupy ports and lines that you would have wanted, as well as beating your fastest ships in the competition for the prestigious Blue Riband of the North Atlantic!
