One way of doing this:

section 8.2.2

(No, I do not actually plan to implement all of that.)

BTW rivers have 3x the speed of normal land - this makes me wonder if
Civ originally had boats sailing up rivers, and replaced it with this
feature for some unknown reason.  (Too cumbersome to move all these ships
around?)
