Are there any other ships in Ship Sim 2008 that were built and sailed between 1901 to 1918?

I want to know due to a server idea I had for when I get the Furie.

The furie would be good as the tug in a Titanic video

My thoughts exactly

It looks just like the Hector, Ajax, Vulcan, and the 2 tugs on Titanic's stern!

That was my idea!

Put them in Southampton

The Furie is ran on oil - the most incorrect statement about the Furie is "it should have a lot of smoke"

The real one doesn't show any  ::)

Because originally she was a steam ship, but in the 50s she was converted to run on oil, which is what VSTEP have modeled, the Furie as she looked in the 50s

Ahoy there, landlubber NathanC  ;),
The Furie IS still a STEAM tug. The fact that she's not longer burning coal but oil does not mean that she's not a steamer. Just the means of heating the boilers changed from coal to oil want change that.
And even now in the 21rst century the Furie looks still the same as in the 50s of the 20st century. In fact, the means of burning didn't change here looks at all, except for the big, black smoke is no longer present.

Hi there, i didn't mean bodywork or paint, i meant the fact in the 1950s she was converted to oil, and that meant the smoke stopped coming out, which is kind of changing the appearence  :)
