This is the map chosen by the Cartographic Congress last month.
There are a few things to note here. First, you may notice that there’s no coal pile. This ship doesn’t run on coal. The engine is powered by a magically heated chunk of metal which is lowered into the boiler to drive the paddlewheels. Second, the sails are meant as an auxiliary power source, in the event that the engines suffer some sort of catastrophic failure (either magical or cannonball-based in nature). And third, the ship would have around 60 crew, plus five officers (including the captain).
Here’s a version without annotations and here’s one in black and white.
Next, we’ll finish off the upper floors of Finbarr’s Marsh and then head underground!
You mind putting an upgraded version on the to-do list? I’m thinking a schooner, about the size of the SS Savannah.
I don’t really get asked to do steamships much, to be honest, so I probably won’t be drawing one anytime soon unless the Cartographic Congress decides otherwise. Sorry!
Have you thought about macking the chunk of metal radioactive instead of magical, just an idea.
