I built a real-scale wooden frigate in survival.

Inaccurate, the french flags should be white only... Heheheha... no offense though...

Never heard that one before!

If you want an explanation: I joked that the french flags on the boat should be white because, historically, France surrendered in lots of battles and since the surrender flag is all white it became a meme that 🇨🇵=🏳️

(What I meant is that I did, many times, because that joke is quite possibly the most overused joke on Reddit...)

Sorry than...

In case you're curious, this kind of ship is an east indiaman. I tried to make it as historically accurate as I could (although some pragmatism was needed, obviously). It is based on plans I found of the HMS Falmouth.

The hold is absolutely packed with goods and crates!
Notice the portal: it's the entire reason I made the build! I wanted a way to justify having a portal in the middle of the sea, which is where I needed it. I have a challenge that all overworld farms must be either justified or disguised as something else, and the idea to make a big boat carrying it just never left my head. Shout-out to u/psychoPiper, u/jj_westie, u/C4_3nterOne, u/PM_ME_UR_SECRETsrsly and others who all encouraged me to try again with this post and not let it go to waste.
I like that the entire design is full of decorations and how you had all the pictures organized. Is the pretty light house also a farm?
Yep, it's the creeper farm.
