If you do NOT have a modded workbench, you MUST use a mission to spawn her in.
(Side note, this ship is based off the only photograph of her and newspapers describing her interior and partially mentioning her layout)
Take this model with a pinch of salt, as I've used all resources I have to make this as accurate as I can! :)

SHIP STORY:
The RMS Arabia was a wooden sidewheel steamship owned by the British & North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company (Cunard Line). Her sister, PS La Plata, was originally to be named Arabia, while this model was first named Persia. She was launched in 1852, and outfitted the same year, completing her trials in December that year. In January 1853, the RMS Arabia departed on her maiden voyage. She served a short life with Cunard for 2 main reasons, of which were due to her awful coal consumption, and her vibration issues. Arabia encountered a storm and the newspaper claimed that "her machinery shook her to pieces". Sadly, a larger and grander steamer that was much more efficient, RMS Persia, came in the spotlight and overshadowed the short lived Arabia for the remaining of her career. She was sold, but due to her expensive coal consumption and unfixable vibrations from oversized engines in a wooden hull, she was transformed into a sailing ship. Now the 14 year old SV Arabia was broken up on May 13th, 1867 Her sister, PS La Plata was also broken up but on January 22nd, 1873.
