In the game's words
How to use it
The War Canoe can fish, scout shorelines, and transport villagers and warriors. It sinks quickly when attacked by other ships or defensive buildings. Artillery units or even a group of ranged attackers can sink a War Canoe within range of their weapons. Even though your first War Canoe is often free, don't overlook its potential strategic value. Some players ignore their War Canoes, instead focusing on their land activities. Don't make that mistake - using your War Canoes wisely can be key to a successful game. Controlling the waterways of a map gives you free rein to scout, fish, and transport warriors. Therefore, it's important to balance between managing your land and water activities.
History
One of the largest canoes used by Native Americans comes from the Pacific Northwest. The people there would make large dugout canoes by hollowing out the huge trees native to the region. For example, the Haida constructed war canoes from 70 to 100 feet long, which could hold as many as sixty warriors. Neighboring tribes, like the Makah, still use similar canoes to hunt whales and other sea mammals.
