Introducing SS Australis in Minecraft!
This is a 1:1 scale build of the Chandris Liner SS Australis! This build has an interior and features her public spaces, lounges, and outdoor amenities.
Short History of SS Australis:
The SS Australis, originally built as the SS America for the United States Lines in 1939, was designed to accommodate a variety of passengers. During World War II, from 1941 to 1946, she served as a US troop ship. After the war, she continued her service on the North Atlantic passenger route until 1964. In that year, she was sold to Chandris Lines, a Greece-based shipping company founded by Anthony Chandris, and was renamed SS Australis. The ship underwent significant refurbishments, including the installation of air conditioning in all cabins. She made her maiden voyage under the Chandris flag on August 21, 1965, sailing from Piraeus to Australia via the Suez Canal. Her main role was to transport immigrants from various European countries to Australia, while also accommodating full-paying passengers for round-the-world trips. In 1967, due to issues with maintaining her white hull, it was repainted grey. The SS Australis was the largest passenger liner in the US fleet when it was acquired by Chandris and became the largest passenger ship under the Greek flag.

Read this before you explore my ship builds:
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.
