You need to place a port, then build a shipwright and order him to build a transport (all this is from memory so I'm not 100% sure). Then you order your people onto the boat.
I have a similar problem. In Divided Country I can't get a geologist to the island. I issue the orders to call one but the ships bring nothing.

Strictly speaking: no. This is also (part of) the reason why seafaring is only available in a handful of maps (mostly campaign maps) and has been completely excluded from the game with the Mission CD. Once a "landing spot" (i.e. where your expedition ship builds the new harbour) has been occupied, you can no longer reach it from the sea - so if an enemy occupies an entire island, they are safe there. In order to attack, you need a sufficiently occupied military building nearby on the same landmass. The same limitation applies to the anniversary edition of the game - even though seafaring plays a much larger part there, the developers never bothered to fix this. (It was finally fixed in the kind-of-sequel "Aufbruch der Kulturen" though.)

Getting a geologist from one harbour to another should definitely work although the entire ship system has been known to be buggy and frustrating at times. What you could try if the problem persists is this: navigate a geologist to the sending harbour (i.e. a harbour on the main island your geologist can reach on foot). You can do this via storehouse settings (send geologist out of storehouse where he is currently located and block storage of geologists in all storehouses except this one harbour). Retry ordering the geologist to the island once he is waiting in the sending harbour. (Obviously, always make sure that you do have free geologists somewhere. Calls do not queue so if you call a geologist while all your geologists are somewhere in the mountains, nothing will happen.)
Thanks but I've tried that. There were 2 to 4 geologists in the harbor at times but they didn't make it, even if I was spamming orders. Now after 10 hours on the map, the geologists sort of disappeared altogether, the big picture shows 2 of them but I can't find them in any of the storehouses. Seems like this new build has more bugs than the last one.

I also noticed that bug when I'm moving the mouse to the right, and it stops, and there is an invisible wall and I can only move the cursor up and down, but then I shake the mouse and it goes away. It happened to me in the old game, and now, but didn't happen months ago with the former GOG build :-/

PS. Danke sehr für deine Hilfe.
