(1.10.8) SS Ohio (Sinkable)
(Fictional)
Nicknamed "The Pocket Ship" due to its comically small size, the SS Ohio was super compact little short range ferry that carried passengers between small islands, as well as being used as a tender to ferry passengers to ocean liners anchored nearby. It was built out of wood due to the tiny island it was built at not having nearly enough iron to build a whole "ship", and was fitted with an unusually large engine to be able to travel at great speeds if needed, but the relatively small boiler, while being able to work the ship up to fairly high speeds, didn’t allow for the engine to be used to its full potential. The pocket ship was also VERY tall for its size, and suffered from very poor stability, especially if the passengers didn’t stay still…
Top speed: 13 Knots, 10.5 Knots fully loaded with passengers
Length: 14.25 Meters
Width: 4.25 Meters
Height: 9.25 Meters
(actual size in the workbench is small enough to spawn it in the starter base dock)
-Seating for 34 Passengers, plus accommodations for 2 crew members
-1 Absurdly large two cylinder steam engine
-1 Boiler
-2 Manual bilge pumps
-Interior lights, exterior lights, and navigation lights
-1 Gangplank with magnets on either side of the ship (2 in total)
-1 Comically high pitch steam whistle
-Simulated telegraph system
-Hand-painted recreation of the Minecraft "De_aztec2" painting
-1 Sink switch
-Full interior
1: Head into the engine room
2: Turn the damper on the boiler all the way up
3: Light boiler
4: Once steam pressure is up, you should be good to go
5: check the boiler regularly, make sure it has plenty of coal (it was too smol to fit autocoalers)
The sink switch is located in the Captain’s cabin. Just a simple press of the big red button and the ship should slowly sink by the stern starting in the engine room.
This was originally just a silly little side project that I originally wasn’t intending to upload, but some people in my discord server REALLY wanted it, so there you go.
Not inspired by any particular ship.
