Iceflower

Jump to: navigation, search

The Iceflower is a ship currently owned and operated by Willowshire Shipyards but acting essentially under independent jurisdiction of its Captain, Tiberius Jones, due in part to the collapse of government in the Brettish Isles as a result of the potato famine. The ship carries 104 passengers with a crew of 35. It is a typical merchant ship of Brettish style and design – square-rigged and beak-bowed, with high, castle-like structures fore and aft that served to protect the ship's crew and the main deck from the elements. The Iceflower measures about 100 feet in length from the forward end at the beak of her prow to the tip of her stern superstructure aft. She is about 25 feet at her widest point, with about 12 feet of keel below the waterline. The maximum cargo volume of the ship is around 180 tons (163 MT).

Voyage of the Iceflower
