Hello there.
This is my build of the White Star tender ship SS Traffic, built in 1911 for ferrying passengers, baggage and mail to the Olympic Class ships in Cherbourg, alongside her running mate the SS Nomadic. Traffic would go on to serve many great liners such as Olympic, Titanic, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth, and even serving in both world wars. Unlike the Nomadic however, she did not survive WW2 and was torpedoed and sunk, and eventually raised and scrapped.
This build is in the 1.8.1 scale and is 103 blocks long and 21 blocks wide. Included in the world download is a version of the ship with added water wake and smoke effects, and one version without. The world download is in Java Edition, so no Bedrock. Sorry!
Hope you enjoy!
