A previous cargo ship MOC, made better

Nope, not a good LEGO cargo ship MOC
Alright I am definitely tying my hands a bit too much now. The collection of non-negotiable requirements I placed on this build forced it into a fairly specific shape & layout that unfortunately could not look good. Looking at it with the almighty hindsight I actually feel most of it was done right at a high level, with fine details always being debatable. The problem was all in the constraints. Without those constraints, though, I'd have a ship in official LEGO style, with the deck level area of the superstructure being 1/2 the height of a minifig, and absolutely no consideration for how figures could potentially get up to the bridge. I have, in fact, begun to find some of the limits of what can be accomplished with LEGO, with consideration for minifigs, at a reasonable size. Making everything much bigger would solve all of these issue, but also completely break New Jang City as I'd end up with only 4-6 buildings and 1 ship taking up the entire room! Things that make ya go "Hmm."

Custom LEGO Push Boat MOC
Don't call it a tugboat, as it may get offended and go off on a long, rant-filled lecture. This thing came into existence in quite the roundabout way, but at least I'm happy with the end result!

LEGO Container Ship MOC complete
I've dropped a couple previews of this on Instagram and now the full build is complete. It didn't turn out half bad. If I did it again, I'd keep the bridge 2 studs narrower, but otherwise it's pretty optimized to maximize the available space. Now I really want to make another, with a different design!

LEGO City 2016 Ferry review! set 60119
"And now for something completely different." LEGO has done a fair number of sets with "ferry" in the name, but this seems to be the very first to be designed to specifically work with minifigs.

LEGO System Fire Fighter boat from 1987! set 4020
Agh! Missing all of its exclusive stickers! No stickers means incomplete, Bricklink sellers, so describe your wares accurately!

LEGO System C26 Sea Cutter from 1996! set 4022
A pretty smart-looking boat, but limited in the play department, in my opinion.
