    This Wonder is only worth building if you like having a large navy. If you do, you can most definitely out-run or catch up to the enemy's vessels if you control this one. I hate it when I send Diplomats or Caravans somewhere (e.g., to France) only to have someone (e.g., the English) kill them off because I haven't made contact with them or because I'm in war with them, so I like this Wonder.
