Shipwright says... The Steam Goose is not for the feint of heart. The Steam Goose is for strong individuals only. No other ship offers the exquisite balance of firepower, speed, and cargo capacity that the Steam Goose does. A small mortar, replacing the useless life raft, pushes the Steam Goose's combat abilities to the max. Laugh in the face of your enemies by presenting them with a larger target. They're going to need all the help they can get.

The Steam Goose is a popular trading ship, carrying 14 cargo alongside a speed 5 engine. It trades two cannons for this engine and a mortar, allowing it to have long-range combat capability alongside a quick speed against the wind. The ability to carry a large amount of cargo at a decent speed regardless of wind direction can lead to large profit margins, should one steer clear of pirates. The Steam Goose does require a voucher.

Trivia

• The Steam Goose has an engine speed of 5, only beaten in speed by the Dragon.
• The Steam Goose, alongside the Fox, is one of two trade ships that are upgraded from previous ships to possess a steam engine, and coincidentally a mortar.
