First I started with building the foundation of the ship. I made sure it was large enough so I would have room to add the crate of tea.
I built up the walls of the ship here. This I think took the longest out of everything because it is the most tedious task to do. The random little bubbles are from the night vision potion I had to use because you cannot sleep through the night in multiplayer.
I angle the front and back of the ship so it didn't like like a giant floating cube.
The actual ship is yellow, red and green as well. I used gold blocks here. It was hard to fit in the other colors without making the ship enormous.
This is where I begun to create the deck of the ship. I also added a layer of black because that's what the ship looked like.
This is the cargo area of the ship that I began to build. I added a ladder to you can get in and out with ease without floating.
I built a table in the middle of the area and also added torches to make it easier to see down there because it was so dark.
Since this is the cargo area I added lot of spare tea crates to throw into the harbor for later!
This is a final project using Minecraft to build a replica of the Eleanor ship from the Boston Tea Party. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.
