Historic Harbor Lightship

A beacon carried by a working vessel

A red working hull carries an open lantern tower above a low cream wheelhouse, keeping the lightvessel silhouette distinct from a sailing ship or passenger ferry.

The black lower strakes widen into red sides and a timber working deck, with separately tapered bow and stern. The lantern is carried on four inclined red legs and open braces, rather than on an enclosed lighthouse shaft. Its broad glazed cage sits well above the aft cabin roof.

The west boarding notch connects the low wheelhouse through an open north-facing entry. A separate checked deck route reaches the bow mooring bitts. These are the advertised access routes: the pointed stern tip is not part of a complete perimeter circuit, and there is no route up to the lantern.

Use it as a fixed harbor marker, museum vessel or maritime roleplay setting. The short forward mast has no sails, and the broad lantern cage, low wheelhouse and exposed deck give it a different job from a cargo brig.

Fit and import

1. Allow a 15-by-41-block footprint and 30 blocks of height, plus the surrounding harbor and an independently built jetty.
2. The hull runs north–south. Match the surrounding water surface around local Y3 and preserve the black lower hull beneath it. Leave water depth below the keel rather than placing it on a solid surface.
3. Connect a jetty to the west boarding notch at X0–2, Z29–31. Deck player-feet level is Y7; the wheelhouse opening faces north at Z28.
4. The download uses Sponge v2 .schem with Minecraft Java DataVersion 3463 (1.20). Native game import and gameplay have not been tested.

Choose an available file above and complete its protected download. Follow the import guide for your tool, start in a backup world and inspect the paste origin before placing the build.

The vessel, beacon and mooring fittings are static. The schematic contains no surrounding sea or jetty, and no rotating light, navigation circuit or tower-access route is claimed. The pointed stern tip is outside the checked walking routes.
