Introducing
MS CHRISTIAAN HUYGENS



Short History
The MS Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch ocean liner built in 1927 by the Nederlandsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij for the Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland (SMN). She operated on the Amsterdam-Batavia route until the outbreak of World War II. During the war, she was requisitioned as a troopship and served in the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean. Post-war, while returning to Rotterdam after a refit in Antwerp in August 1945, she struck a mine in the Scheldt, leading to her being beached. Despite attempts to salvage her, the ship broke in two on September 5, 1945, and was declared a total loss. The wreck now lies at approximately 30 meters depth and is known for its well-preserved interior artifacts, making it a notable dive site.

Texture Pack Recommendation:
I recommend you use the Natural Texture Pack for exploring my ship builds. I exclusively build in this texture pack to give my builds a unique look and feel. You can explore my builds without the texture pack but it wouldn't feel the same, so I highly recommend you use the Natural Texture Pack for full immersion. Here is the link for Java. (You can disable the pack after you're done!
