Introducing RHMS Patris in Minecraft! [Exterior Only]
This is a 1:1 scale build of the Chandris Liner RHMS Patris! This build features her outdoor amenities and is an exterior only build.
Short History of RHMS Patris:
She was originally built as the MV Bloemfontein Castle for Union Castle Line in 1950. Her maiden voyage was on April 6, 1950 and she had the traditional Union Castle Line look at the time (a well-raked rounded stem, cruiser stern, a low streamlined funnel and a single mast abaft the bridge). She served with Union Castle line for only 9 years before being sold. In 1959, a new Greek freight shipping company purchased the MV Bloemfontein Castle and renamed her to RHMS Patris. This company was Chandris Lines, and this was their first ship to operate under the Chandris Brand. After serving with Chandris for 20 years, in 1979 she was sold to Karageorgis Lines and Patris was renamed to "Mediterranean Island" then "Mediterranean Star" and was giving a yellow hull and white funnel. She served as Mediterranean Star and was used as a ferry until she was sold to Pakistani breakers in 1987. She was renamed "Terra" and was demolished in 1989 marking the end of her 39 year long life.

Read this before you explore my ships:
1) I recommend you use the Natural Texture Pack for full immersion. I exclusively build in this texture pack to give my builds a unique look and feel. You can download the Natural Texture Pack here.
2) I build in 1:1 scale, but building in this scale comes with limitations. Some areas may be distorted or compromised due to scale and sizing when building in 1:1. Compromises have to be made in order to complete the build. Some areas may not resemble the actual ship and in those circumstances, I have to fictionalize some aspects about the build to "balance out" the build or to allow player interaction. I fully recognize 1:1 is not a perfect scale to build in but I personally find 1:1 to be the sweet spot for me.
3) I don't build cabins, engine rooms, or crew spaces. The reason is there is little to no information on what some of these spaces actually looked like, so I'd rather not spend the time to build something that I don't have information on. There is dead space on my builds because I primarily focus on class accommodations (Lounges, Dining Rooms, etc) and tend to focus less on passenger corridors, cabins, crew spaces, etc.
