>———————————————<[STORY]>———————————————<

The Steamer "BOSTON" was launched in the 2nd of April, 1901, after an economical boom around the Sawyer Islands as the population reached high levels.

The Donkk Steamship Navigation Company soon began operating medium-capacity fast ferry services from the Holt village to both the Fishing Village and the North Harbour. Boston was one of the first vessels in this route, and was wildly successful with many voyages being often overbooked.

Due to a river blockage after a major shipwreck, the Boston was forced to navigate outside the islands to arrive to her destination. On Christmas eve, 1907, overloaded with over 93 passengers, she capsized in a brutal snowstorm.
There were no survivors, and her wreckage was not found until 1983, at which point it had deteriorated so much there was only her keel and remains of her propeller still in the sand.

She has no interiors below the superstructure due to weight concerns, and is heavily unstable. To start her, you must get on the helm and press 1 to light the boiler. From there, it's WASD to control the rudder and throttle.

The lifeboats are bolted onto the deck, sorry about that. "Budget cuts" happened.

You NEED infinite electricity, or else she won't work. Infinite fuel is not needed.

The Donkk Steamship Navigation Company is in the same universe as the following:
- Transoceanic Sawyer Line
- Central Sawyer Railroad & Midlands Shipping Company
- Stellar Line
- Orrin's Line
- Sawyer And Donkk Cargo And Mail Line
