Strategies
Unless your Capital is Coastal or you have seriously invested some time into a Coastal City by the time this tech is up, you will have a hard time building it before the AI. While it is not very helpful on Pangaea type maps, it's better on Continents and amazing with Archipelago. England's Movement bonus stacks with this, so it's a very handy wonder for them and makes their Ship of the Line even more powerful during its time ruling the seas. This lets you get by with less ships to defend your sea Trade Routes against Barbarian triremes/caravels and will help with their mobility during a war. Having control over the seas can win you a war - those coastal Cities are easy to take, especially when you have the ability to do so using only Naval units (melee attack ships can capture Cities).
