SS Benton Castle (Sinkable)

Described by some as 'cute' and by others as 'looks like someone sat on it', the Benton Castle is a dumpy little cargo steamer with a hold just big enough to be useful and even some 'passenger accommodation' if you're brave enough.

Roughly 100km range at top speed (range decreases at lower speeds)
Length – 29m
Width – 6.25m
Depth – 2.75m
Capacity for 6 crew + 4 'guests'

Replica telegraph system
Fully stocked equipment
2 electric life-boats
2 scripted sink modes
Functional bilge pumps
Working cargo derrick
Heaters for arctic voyages

To start
Head into the deckhouse aft
Go down the ladder into the engine room
Simply Turn the key to start the boiler
Once steam pressure has risen, you're good to go


To sink
Head to the captain’s cabin at the rear of the deckhouse
Under their desk, find the keypad
Choose a sink mode
1
Begin the sink instantly
2
Turn up the wind and sail head first into waves, eventually she’ll sink (recommend around 60%)



Notes
Being rather tall and 'dumpy', taking waves to the broadside is not advised
Envisioned mainly for coastal routes, heavy seas will swamp her decks

Inspired by SS Handa (1878)
