About This Tool
In the first half of the 19th century, steamships were not yet popular. Most of the civilian ships in the world still used all kinds of sailboats. Some of the newer types of ships were flying shears, it’s only 13 days across the Atlantic. However, because of the different capability of shipbuilding technology in different countries, the ships made by some countries with backward manpower are difficult to resist the advanced ships of developed countries. That’s why the random tool compiled a list of 265 ships that had been defeated and captured in conflicts between nations.
In the generator, information about the 19th century captured ships and commercial vessels can be found in great detail, including the type of all the ships, their names, the date they were built, and a brief description of the ships. After the mid-19th century, though steam engines improved, many ships used both paddle wheels and sails to save fuel. Because the early steam engines consumed so much coal, the colonists had to set up refueling stations in various colonies, which allowed other countries to take advantage of them.
