		The classic era of the fighting sail ships has been recreated numerous times for the PC but most of the resulting simulations truly deserve to be deep-sixed into oblivion.
		Avalon Hill's pontifical Wooden Ships and Iron Men proved that their boring board game could successfully be turned into a boring PC title; mostly due to the fact that this type of combat is about quick nerves and timing while the turn-based gameplay was about as exciting as watching your computer reboot.
		One title that did manage to stand out was Talonsoft's 1996 release Age of Sail, which ironically came out at about the same time as Wooden Ships and Iron Men and thus is usually either confused with that game or forgotten completely as the genre was often compared to a sinking fleet.

		The largest wooden square-rigged vessel built in the United States (with the exception of McKay's original Great Republic), Roanoke was one of a quartet of huge Sewall Down Easters that included the ship Rappahannock and the four-masted barks Shenandoah and Susquehanna.
		Although these ships were intended to herald a revival of American merchant sail, in many ways they represented the swan song of the age of "wooden ships and iron men." Roanoke was the last wooden ship built by Arthur Sewall, who from this time on launched only steel deepwatermen.
		This was also the first time that four Sewall ships were together in port at the same time, the other vessels being the steel-hulled Dirigo, Edward Sewall, and Erskine M. Phelps.
