A magnificent ship that bankrupted its creators. A man who smoked 40 cigars a day invented her. Almost fully made out of iron and the largest of her time, people thpught she would bend and nreak at the first sighn of waves. She sailed for 30 years, when they wrecked her, they found two riveters trapped in the double hull. On her maiden voyage an explosion from the water tanks killed several crewman. One night she hit a rock and it gouged her hull, with a rip in her hull bigger than titanics she stayed afloat, the passengers said they felt nothing. Truly a marvel

@Stormfur
It sorta looks like Keewatin but the bridge is different
@MegaFox I got a link to the page
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Michigan
Can I have an image @Stormfur
I’ll add to the list
@Stormfur
Plz do the SS Michigan
I’d love to hear why people like the ships I make, that way I can see what I’ve done and maybe add it for future builds.
So please, tell me why you lie this vessel?
Maaayyyybe
@JamesBleriot
I was thinking on making a sailing ship
Could you try to build the Mayflower? @MegaFox
Magnificent work as always, Ill probably convert her into an armoured cruiser lol
@JamesBleriot
No problem
@GreatHenry
Aww.....
Thanks for working on the USS Lester, I really appreciate it! My grandfather served aboard her. @MegaFox
@MegaFox bcs clifton... evvv, he was not the best, it did not seem interesting to me (my opinion is subjective, everyone doesn’t care about that).
@MegaFox Here on this list and work, comrade.
Please give me ideas on what to build next.
I’m working on:
USS lester
S.S. Atlantic
And an iron clad ship.
@Jetliner101
Yes, there were two trapped riveters
Wow, this build was posted 9 hours ago and already has 12 upvotes from the time of this post.
I built another ship around 10 days ago and it only has 2 upvotes,
Give it some love people, take her out for a spin, fiddle around with the controls! :’)

Brunel was and still remains to this day, an absolute legend. Great job!
BEAUTIFUL!
Oh?
It was completed in 1859 and it was took out of service in 1889
(It turns horribly but it looks nice)
Sorry for my long time away. Things got stuffy, made this for you guys too! Hope you enjoy.
Sorry I couldn’t add more details, small device heheh....
