1869 is weird, as I cant get the dang ship to move ports!
Thank god for the Controls extra I found
Use that downloadable extra, it will make it so much easier for you.

This game is fantastic!
How to play: Once you have the ship, go to the tabern and get a crew, they will come in a few days. Then purchase goods in port and sail off to sale.
Each port buys and sells certain goods, so you should take note (or download a grid from the web) about what goods are traded in each port.
Buy better ships, wait until Suez Channel is open, then get rich buing tea in India and selling it in UK, or wool from Sydney to Los Angeles. Save all the time to avoid being robbed in rebel ports.

PS: Don´t forget to leave money in your capital port for taxes, since year 2, or you may go bankrupty even if you are rich. This is extremly important.

You know the game is played by managing a trading company during the golden age of clipper ships, purchasing goods at one port, moving them to another and selling them at a profit. Passengers can also be transported on certain ships.

That’s actually social service work of a very deep and important kind.
