Ship Construction

One ship per year may be built per one hundred laborers and one shipwright. One hull point may be built for every three days out of green wood, one hull point may be built for every ten days out of seasoned wood, and one hull point may be built for every thirty days out of aged wood. Green wood ships generally last about four years. Seasoned wood ships generally last about eight to ten years. Aged wood ships generally last about twenty-five years. Wood for ships must be purchased at least one year ahead of time for seasoned wood, and three years ahead of time for aged wood. One hull point consists of about six hundred logs (12' X 1') five hundred pounds per log, cut down and made into ship timbers, hull, keel, masts, and such.
