Historic Ships adds 3 historic warships: the Viking Drakkar, the Roman Quinquereme, and the Napoléon. They all have different features and everything is craftable on the Shipwright Workbench where you can assemble them from materials. See the showcase section to know more about these! All the images are showing the version 1.0 that is still in progress.
Note: This is currently version 1.0 and many features and improvements are upcoming! (Sneak peek: the Drakkar will have customizable color for the sail!)
Anyway, let's experience the Echoes of the fleet!


| Ship | Era | Engine | Passengers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drakkar | Viking age | Oars + Main sail | 4 |
| Quinquereme | Hellenistic Period | Larger oars + 2 Sails | 6 |
| Napoléon | Mid-19th Century | 3 Large sails + Steam | 6 |
- The Drakkar is meant for very fast traveling, and is very maneuverable.

In order to craft these ships, you will have to first craft the Shipwright Workbench.


Here's how it looks inside:
The top slots are for the materials used to craft the ships.
For example to craft the Drakkar, we need these items (less quantity):

Then you'll have to click Assemble and the boat will be crafted!
Tip: You can also hover the ships to have this tooltip, so you know what materials you need:


Translations are available for English and French yet. Feel free to suggest better one, or directly add translations on github with a pull request!.
Note: there's a missing translation in the keybinds settings that will be fixed.

As it was done for the ModJam 2026, I had a limited time to do it and couldn't implement everything, so stay tuned for the updates!
