Last update: 16 April 2019

On this page in our guide to Anno 1800, you will learn how to find and purchase ships. Combat is much more important in this installment and the ships play a crucial role. You should always have a powerful armada that would be able to defeat attackers or allow you to send a few ships on an expedition.

Production of a new ship takes time, costs a lot and, sometimes, may not be profitable. If you have a lot of gold, it would be better to buy new ships. To do that, move the camera on the islands belonging to other players. Usually, our allies or friends have a few ships on sale. Click on a ship marked with a $ icon to purchase it.

Sadly, you can't negotiate to get a better price - some ships cost a fortune. However, this is still a good idea if you have a lot of gold. Remember, their maintenance costs, too!
