Boats & Ships on the Maze of the Mind Grid is a paradise for anyone with an interest in maritime life. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by an impressive collection of free boats, ships and harbour equipment that covers almost every type of vessel imaginable. Whether you are looking for a simple rowing boat, a luxury yacht, a fishing vessel or a fully equipped commercial ship, this remarkable region has something to offer.
The variety is extraordinary. Visitors will discover everything from paddle steamers, speedboats, hovercraft and catamarans to sailing ships, modern naval vessels, submarines and historic galleons. Harbour builders will also appreciate the extensive range of piers, docks, buoys and other maritime accessories that make creating a realistic waterfront both easy and enjoyable. Best of all, the entire collection is freely available, reflecting the grid’s philosophy of sharing resources with the OpenSim community.
The region itself is just as impressive as its collection. Covering a massive 10 × 10 var region, equivalent to approximately 100 standard Second Life-sized regions, Boats & Ships provides an enormous expanse of uninterrupted open water. With no border crossings to interrupt your journey, it is an ideal environment for sailing yachts, racing speedboats or simply enjoying a leisurely cruise across the sea. In the distance, visitors will also spot some impressive landmarks, including a giant aircraft carrier and a towering Saturn rocket launch complex, adding even more interest to the skyline.
Although there is no dedicated rez area, many of the vessels are already scripted and ready to use, allowing visitors to climb aboard and set sail almost immediately. The collection is concentrated in one corner of the region, leaving the vast remainder as open water for exploration and boating.
Created and generously shared by Prince Amor, Boats & Ships is far more than a simple freebie region. It is both a valuable resource for builders and an enjoyable destination in its own right, offering one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of maritime content available anywhere in OpenSim.
