how am i able to come up with enough gold to buy a new ship? is it just buying resources and then selling them to another port?

yes, the easiest way to do it is to set up a new trade rout that takes over an hour between each port and then let it sit for a few days. Then you will need to set up trade routs to get the needed resources to your chosen port so that you can build the ship.

okay, thanks for the explanation

I have been doing that for a week, all that happens is I get attacked and lose all the money I gained. Is there anyway to store your money, like in a bank?

I tried setting up an auto trade route. It returned to original port without selling items and buying other items at 2nd port. How I fix that? " Must of been a glitch.. auto trade is working now. And I see the reason for over an hour away, so your danger stays low. Thanks"

That would be because the second port is low on resources from other people using it too much, you will have to find a different port to use.
