Hey Community!

I have built to smal ships, for the men of Dorwinion and wanted to know what you think of the. I'm not the bet builder and especially ships are very hard to build in my opinion. So it would be very nice if you could leave some tips for me! ;)

Dorwinion trading ship
The ships of Dorwinion are relatively flat, so they mostly sail on rivers, to bring the famous vine and other goods to other realms like Dale or to their own people.

The ship has a cargo area on the inside, but goods can be carried on the deck as well. To enter the cargo area, there's a big hatch in the middle of the ship. A ladder leads downwards, so the crew may easily enter the cargo area.

At the rooms end there's some space for the crew as well. Every crew member has it's own bed with a chest for their stuff. A candle provides some light and from the barrel they can take something to drink. On the top there's  a little tent, which includes the area of the captain and the steering wheel.





Dorwinion Galley
The Dorwinion galleys are the main pillar of the Dorwinion fleet. Their flat design and the ability to sail and to row makes them a very fast and felixble ship. On the front there's a little platform for the crossbowers of vintner guards. Instead of a "front pole" the galley has battering ram. Thies dangeroues weapon along with the ship's mobility makes this little ships redoutable enemys!

Food and equipment is carried in a small cargo area (way smaler than from the trading ship) but getting the things down there is difficult cause the hatch is very small. The Crew has to slepp on the deck which is very uncomfortable. There's need of 20 oarsman, a captain and 15 soldiers.
