In the game's words
How to use it
The Steamer replaces the Galleon and is unique to the United States. Unlike the Galleon, it is available starting in the Fortress Age, not the Commerce Age, and can fish the ocean. Like the Galleon, it is a sturdy but costly ship that can train units and sustain a lot of damage. It also has the unique Full Steam ability, allowing it to increase its speed for a short period of time.
History
As the nation-states of the Western Hemisphere entered a period of greater industrialization, many began to harness the force of steam power. While useful in many spheres of life, steam power revolutionized naval navigation because it lessened or outright removed the reliance of vessels on manpower, currents, or the wind. The United States made ample use of this technology, and steamboats soon traversed waterways such as the Mississippi River, the Great Lakes, and the oceans in droves.
