Greetings bes/tg/irls and boys, I need ship art. Lots of it. Rigging, hull, deck, sail, I don't care! Any of it will help me out.
Also, ship-like ocean-going constructs are cool too.
Thanks!

bumping for interest
Give me the largest fucking ship you got.
>>43759699
Afraid that enormous fucking dreadnought in OP is the largest I've got.
>>43759699
I got you. Would play the fuck out of a campaign about pic related trying to survive in the 18th century.

Would run out of fuel relatively quickly, no?
The period of naval design between the end of the Age of Sail and the construction of the Dreadnought was a magical time.

You should all definitely read David Weber's Safehold series. It deals with an outside source of technology pushing a world from 14th century galleys to 19th century Ironclads in the span of ten years, but most of the series focuses on galleon combat, going full on Wooden Ships and Iron Men.

Japanese vessels always seemed very dwarven to me, being the floating castles that they are.

Say the campaign takes place after Trump is elected and reinstates her into active service and they gave her a nuclear reactor.

I had an interest in this time period for a while now.
Anything I read up on to learn more about it?
>>43767826
I don't think you read the post correctly
>>43768080
>Says they'd run out of fuel quickly
>Counter by saying it was fitted with a nuclear reactor
How do you get me not reading his post correctly? Nuclear powered ships can run non-stop for decades, thus solving the fuel problem.

I would like to suggest a series. Taylor Anderson's Destroyermen series. In March of 1942, a pair of Great War era Destroyers are transported to an alternate Earth where two races have evolved, neither of them human. The USS Walker suddenly goes from still-floating scrap, to the most powerful ship on the planet. The other two species' fleets haven't gotten any further than sail, arrows and catapult.
Unfortunately, an Imperial Japanese Battlecruiser, Amagi, followed them, and it is in every way a superior ship.
The currently-ten-book series also reveals that Walker and Amagi weren't the only ones, nor were they the first, to travel to this world. The Hawaiian Islands belong to 16th century English (being the New British Isles), Eastern North America is rumoured to be under the control of Civil War era Americans (Dixie or Yankee is unknown), South America belongs to Aztecan/Mexican cultists from an undetermined era, and South Africa is home to a varied and numerous hodgepodge, including 10th century Romans. Yet another faction is made up of further nefarious persons of unknown temporal and geographical origins, but called the League of Tripoli, so assuming Africa.
I am confused that no one has posted Zheng He's Treasure ship.
Pretty beast sailing vessel.

Probably because of legendary over-exaggeration in size, and that even if it was as big as the legends claim, it still wouldn't have been the largest wooden sailing vessel ever.

I liked the first few books, then I felt they bogged down, losing my interest. Lots of wooden ship combat though.
