Ships in Brooke's Era

Good evening. A very short, fast and tired reading about water vehicles in Brooke's era. Why so sudden? Actually, I was planning for this entry few months ago, yet I was in procrastinated trilogy which makes me forgot to list the names inside my notebook. Okay, today, this evening, quite late obviously because I used to update my entry in afternoon, I finally able to write this in hurry. Hee-haw, I don't have any idea how to put the title entry so I hope that the entry is catchy for those who need this fact *you're welcome.

Visitors, I loved to proceed (sorry for any inconveniences and please correct me if I'm wrong)
