Introducing Chandris Lines SS ITALIS in Minecraft!
This is a 1:1 scale build of the Chandris Liner SS ITALIS! This build is a transformed version of the SS Australis build and has the appropriate interior and exterior changes from the pictures/information I was able to find.
Short History of Chandris Lines SS ITALIS:
The SS ITALIS, previously known as the SS AMERICA, had a brief but eventful stint under Chandris Lines. After a short and disastrous career with Venture Cruise Lines, Chandris re-purchased the ageing ship and put her back into service as the 'ITALIS'. In an attempt to modernize the ship, her forward funnel was hastily removed. However, the ship was in a state of decrepitude and served as a cruise ship with Chandris for only 2 years before being sold once more. The ship was in dire need of new engines, and one passenger reported that the vibrations from the ship were totally unacceptable. It was known that Chandris wanted to re-power her with Diesel motors, but the costs involved in the re-powering of the liner were too much and due to her age, she was sold to Inter Commerce Corporation in 1980.

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.
