(v1.11.5) SS Newcastle 1848 (Sinkable)

(Fictional)
Built in the late 1840's, the SS Newcastle was one of the first ocean liners operating across the Atlantic. She was fitted with the revolutionary new screw propeller which proved to be superior to paddle wheels, but still retained the old-school wooden hull. She was also one of the fastest ships of the day, operating at a top speed of 13 knots. Her design, with comfortable saloon class accommodations and... habitable steerage quarters, would help pave the way for the design of future ocean liners to come.


Top speed: 13 Knots
Length: 60.25 Meters

1: Go to the boiler room.
2: Turn the dampers all the way up.
3: Light boilers.
4: Once steam pressure is up, you should be good to go.


The sink switches are located in the Captain's cabin at the starboard (right) side of the main saloon lounge, as a keypad next to the desk.

1: A long tear open up in the keel and the ship gradually does down by the head

2: Two large explosions go off on the port side and the ship will rapidly take on water, sinking slightly by the stern

The ship is built so that it has a sort of free surface-like effect, and having certain doors open can affect how it goes down.

The port boiler will explode when the boiler room floods to a certain amount, and the second sink switch works entirely off of explosives, so having the weapons DLC enabled is recommended.


-The boilers are set up so that you can operate them with any number of furnaces. So you can have 3, 2, or even 1 firebox lit, and they will each result in different power outputs.
-The ship may easily list to the side if there's uneven weight. The ship is very stable, it just doesn't like sitting on an even keel very much.
-Sammy doesn't like light
-When using the bilge pumps for the first time, you need to manually crank them forward a bit as they spawn in at the end of their stroke. (You can also just use the pumps as manual hand crank pumps if there's no steam)

Inspired by the early screw steamers such as the SS Great Britain, the RMS Cambria (1844), and the SS City Of Glasgow
