I'm wondering if it's possible to set ships so they pick up and drop off things from your own islands automatically. I have to grow my drum wheat, corn, and fruit on other islands and I'm wondering how I can make it easier on me by transporting goods where they have to go without me having to constantly manually interact with the ships and pick up the stuff. Is that possible?

Yes, it's possible to move goods between your islands automatically. You just have to set up a trade route. You'll want to have a ship that you can assign to the route, so if you've only got one I'd suggest building or buying a second, just so that you can still manually move goods around (ie, for founding new settlements on new islands and such)
The ship will head to the source island, pick up the goods, and deliver them to the destination. It's possible to make more complex chains - pick up on 2 islands and deliver to one, for example, or drop off part of some goods on one island and the rest on another.
Here's a video tutorial to the process:
