Welcome to my project!
This is the Santa Ana, a Spanish 1st rate ship-of-the-line that has 28 fire charge dispensers and 86 TNT cannons with a range of 100 blocks. She is my most powerful ship yet, and most sleekest. And she also has a fully decorated interior, ready for your world!
History of the Santa Ana,
Santa Ana was a 112-gun three-decker ship of the line of the Spanish Navy, built to plans by Romero Landa. She was the prototype and lead ship of the Santa Ana class, also known as los Meregildos, which were built during the following years at Ferrol and Havana,which formed the backbone of the Spanish Navy - the other ships were the Mejicano, Conde de Regla,Salvador del Mundo, Real Carlos, San Hermenegildo, Reina Mara Luisa and Prancipe de Asturias. Her dimensions were 213.4 Burgos feet long, 58 feet in the beam and a total tonnage of 2,112 tonnes.
History:She was launched on 28 September 1784 at the Reales Astilleros de Esteiro. She was tested at sea on 28 February 1785 under the captaincy of Félix de Tejada, who reported the test to his commanding officer that the ship "kept the battery in good use [even] in a fresh wind and heavy seas". The success of the trials led to a royal order that subsequent three-deckers would be built to the same plans.
From 1803 to 1804 she was captained by Dionisio Alcala¡ Galiano. At Trafalgar she was the flagship of Alava and captained by Josa de Gardoqui - she suffered 97 killed and 141 wounded, with Alava himself seriously wounded, and was captured by the British. However, two days later, a squadron under the command of Commodore Cosmao-Kerjulien succeeded in recapturing her and getting her back to Cadiz.
At the start of the Peninsular War in 1808 she was undergoing repairs at the Arsenal and so could not participate in the capture of the French squadron under Admiral Rosily. She and Prancipe de Asturias moved to Havana in 1810 to avoid capture by the French and sank in its Arsenal in 1816. In 1834 she could still be seen next to the Prancipe de Asturias(which had also sunk) in the mud in front of the Arsenal.
You may use this project in anything as long as you give me credit for building. Before you use it, contact me for whatever it is you will use it for. Thanks!
Additional Notes
Have fun with it, and do absolutely good science in it.If you see the sign that says "Place four maps in a grid", that basically means put four item frames down, then four same scale maps that were explored in a 2x2 grid, if that makes sense.
The minecart system might not be realistic, but I wanted to add it since it can make a quick way for transporting good to upper decks. And it's also fun to ride in it.

ps im subbing
Hm...the ship explodes? Weird, I did test runs before I released it and it never did that. I'll check into it ASAP.
But the cause will most likely be a mis-placed dispenser. I had to add most of the dispensers by hand...so yeah.
Since McEdit doesn't really let me rotate the dispensers, I'll have to do it the old fashioned way, so it will take a while. :(
