Final Project: My Boston Tea Party Ship

For this assignment we were asked to build a replica of a Boston Tea Party Ship in the mine-craft server. I built the ship the Dartmouth. "Dartmouth, first ship built in New Bedford in 1767, was one of the three vessels in the Boston Tea Party" (http://www.newbedfordguide.com/whaling-museum-unveils-boston-tea-party-ship-model/2013/12/13)

First I began to build a frame for my boat

below is the foundation of the boat

At first I added sponge to because it has a similar yellow color but I then swapped it out for a light colored wood

I finished some of the wall of the boat and began to build the deck

I built the deck then realized I needed to expand my boat so i began to make it taller and wider

first i added some lava.. opps.. then i added more blocks to make it bigger

Here I am still expanding my ship!

once I finished expanding and evening everything out..I began to build the masts

I built the mast by stacking fencing on top of eachother

I started to make the extension of the ship but it did not look right using the fencing.. so I switched it out for oak blocks and slabs

here is a picture of the mast!

Then I began to decorate the interior... I added wood flooring and a ladder

Here I cleared out a space for the captain to sleep

I added some decorations to the room

I also added a sign on the door

Here I added some crates of tea and a table

Above you can see that I added crated to emulate the tea!

I added an American flag to the back of the ship, just as the model ship has!

Here are some views of the finished product

Here is the finished view of the inside of the ship.

Here is the finished captain's quarters

Here are some more pictures of the finished product

This is a part of my Final Project: My Boston Tea Party Ship. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://immersiveeducation.org/@/bc
