MV Garnet

This is the MV Garnet, a medium-sized harbor tug. Like a lot of my other builds, she is based on a real ship. Overall, I’m pretty happy with how she turned out. She’s got a good amount of power, decent range, plenty of equipment, and a ton of paint blocks/other useless details! Also, she’s self-righting, which is always nice to see, right?

History (Fictional)
The MV Garnet is a harbor tugboat that was built in 1954 for general harbor duties around the Sawyer Islands. As a brand-new diesel-powered ship, she was in stark contrast to her much older steam-powered predecessors, which had been in service since the late 1800s! For the next 10-20 years, the Garnet was used for general harbor duties, occasionally being used as an improvised cargo transport. However, as the shipping activity around the Sawyer Islands slowed during the 1970s and 1980s, the Garnet was used for other jobs. One of these tasks was disposing of expired chemical explosives which, unsurprisingly, was a fairly dangerous job. In March 1989, she suffered a serious accident during one of these disposal operations. During the dumping process, some of the explosive-filled boxes failed to completely sink and drifted back under the ship’s stern. When the engine was started up again, the propeller struck one of the boxes, causing a large explosion. The Garnet was badly damaged by the blast and had to be towed back to port. After examination, it was decided that the damage was too extensive to be economically repaired, so the tugboat was simply patched up and donated to a local museum. For now, the Garnet has been beached near the Sawyer Islands’ Southeast Fishing Village until the museum can find the space and resources needed to fully repair and display it.
