Introducing SS BRITANIS in Minecraft!
This is a 1:1 scale build of the Chandris Liner SS BRITANIS! This build features public open spaces, Lounges, Dining Rooms and outdoor amenities.
Short History of SS Britanis:
Originally built as the Monterey in 1932, she had a long lively career. She served in WWII transporting troops, and after the war she returned to a normal cruising career. She had her name changed to Matsonia in 1956 and Lurline in 1963. Finally in 1970, she was bought by Chandris Lines and renamed Britanis. During the years of 1987-1994 she was a popular cruise ship in Miami and would sail to the Caribbean and Bahamas. In 1995, Britanis was chartered by the U.S. Government and served as Floating Barracks in Guantanamo Bay. She served as Britanis until 1998, when she was laid up and renamed Belofin-1. After a few years, while being towed to the scrapyard she sprung a leak and sank on her port side. She slipped underneath the waves on October 21, 2000, marking the end of her long 68 year life.

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.
