Maybe you should say she's based off Liverpool Viking or Dublin Viking, since she hasn't been Lagan Viking 2002.

The Lagan Viking at the minute..

And the exact same model is in Virtual Sailor, and also in the "ships that didn't make it into SS" section of the Collectors Edition captains journal.

I don't know how bad the Liverpool and Dublin Vikings are, but the newer ships are horrendous.

I'll not hear a bad word said about them  :P

Liverpool & Dublin Vikings are better from "our" point of view - quite literally with so much deck space.

If the Lagan & Mersey Vikings where combined with the Liverpool & Dublin Vikings - i'd say

Lagpool Viking and Merslin Viking would be alright all rounds  :doh:
