"Gathers fish."

"Gathers fish and can build a few buildings."
In-game description, Egyptian Fishing Ship

Fishing Ships in Age of Mythology are economic ships that are used to gather fish, providing food. They are trained at the Dock from the Archaic Age and are available to all civilizations.

As fishing grounds in Age of Mythology yield unlimited fish, Fishing Ships provide a steady source of food throughout the game, as long as they are not disturbed by enemy warships. They also make decent naval scouts in the early game. They are completely defenseless, and as such, should never go too close to enemy-controlled waters.

For protection, Fishing Ships can garrison in Docks, which also allows them to return fire at enemy ships and naval myth units.

Ability

Egyptian Fishing Ships can also build Obelisks and Lighthouses, albeit much slower than Priests/Laborers.
