Directly West from Shai. A couple of years away sailing in a longboat.

Yeah well I suggested something for that. When it says "harbour - west" it should also say 270, really. :P But it got rejected because characters don't know that, but I think Jos got it wrong and thought I was talking about land directions...hm...gotta dig that one up sometime again. :roll:

Yeah I read that suggestion and thought it would be helpful as well. Anyways, I don't want to run off on a rabbit trail here and get off-topic. ;)

Well the topic's OP has been answered...but since we have no thread for this maybe you can change the topic title to "Whose boat is it anyway?" or something. :D Then we can use this thread to find other boats. Like...what's the story behind the Endeavour? Was found all the way east from Treefeather. Its direction however, was to the south-east. But they did have Treefeather notes. So quite the mystery.

Good idea, I just changed the name of the thread so it can be used by everyone now.

After almost all the opposition on Sring-Sri were killed (the island was called Sring-Sri back then), Willy got bored and decided to follow a rumor. He heard there was a large continent to the east. Just sail east, you can't miss it. Well, he build Scarab Port and a longboat and then undocked from Nraam. The island had no sand to improve the roads so he thought he would search for exotic resources. They lacked vehicle parts as well.

Finding the large land mass was easy, but unfortunately heading back proved to be fatal... missing his island and sailing off into the middle of the ocean... after a few years he started to zig and zag but he couldn't even follow his route back home.

He left me a good chunk of iron and a few other things though. ;)

This is a very old ship, and I'm not sure if it's even English, but I've always been curious about the original owners of a galleon called "Blind Guardian".

About the "Blind Guardian":

The ship was owned by two German characters, Jean-Luc and Kornman Oonkmampf (the later belonged to myself). Since they were not capable of speaking English, the name didn't mean much to them though, I guess.

Would be nice, if someone has a use for her^^

This is not a boat but in fact a bike, but who has used "The Arrow"? Back in the 1300's my character Phoenix stole it and used it to wreck havoc on the Xiria region. It gave me a start when I saw it with one of my other characters. I was like "hey, I know that name!"
