I'm not sure if this is the best way to classify these kinds of low tech societies. The Tier scale mainly is based on power source and conservation, most of these use the same, that is, dead stuff. There is probably no 1900 level soceties on Koldenwelt anyway.

The Islanders are Tier 4.
 * Steam powered machines, ships, experimental submarines
 * Steam powered ballista (large arrows, cannons).
 * Spar torpedoes
 * Weak electricity (enough to make small light bulbs).
 * Experimental Analog computers.
 * Primitive flame thrower (based on Greek fire)
 * Heat ray to burn sails, combustable materials or wood and blind crew - based on the Ancient Greek Achimedes Heat ray.
