I'll be honest, big production chains scare me. That being said, I do like the idea that you can't go right from a shore fisher to a deep ocean fishery. An idea maybe, is to consolidate the buildings. For example, have a weaver that can make sail-cloth in addition to regular cloth. (Also, wouldn't hemp be a better choice for rope and sail cloth?) Spars are made by the blacksmith, etc.
Though a little quibble, from what I understand, isn't the hull built first, then plated? Wouldn't it make more sense for sails, spars, lumber, and copper to be mixed together at the shipyard to make ships? (Or just use the <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> ship components, I mean people have been dismantling and rebuilding ships since the ancient Egyptians.)
