I hit my head when i fell down the stairs

Ouch, that sounds painful. If your head is still sore tomorrow - seek medical advice, just to be on safe side.

Port of Willemstad/Curacao sounds like a nice wee port, a bit like Padstow but with much deeper seabed depth.

And there would be World Peace..

And there would be no need for navy, military etc...which would leave us vulnerable to alien invasions from outer space

Sorry, getting a bit off topic here

The port of curacao is one best harbours on planet.
Its mostly known for its deep and natural habour.
The port has its own pontoon bridge that opens or closes when a ship will leave or enter the port.
You also have the "Queen Juliana Bridge", Wich is 57 meters above sea lever..
If you are on the queen juliana bridge you have view from the whooole port

Curacao harbour also is veery deep...
In the entrace the depth 200 meters
And inside the depth in 100 meters..So if there is an emergency that a cargo vessel has too enter..
It can enter fully loaded without hitting anything...
Ships that are higher then 55 meters are unable too enter,the chance of the colliding with the bridge is then a posibility..

The port is has a container, oil and drydocks...
The cruise terminal is at the side of the port where the pontoon bridge is
But also on the outer side of the port is the mega pier, wich is meant for large cruise liners..

The port has 2 parts.
Punda & Otro banda..
Mostly when a cruise liner enters all tourist start recording because of the beautifull buildings at both sides of the port..
Why do we need this port?
SS doesnt have any caribbean ports.
$:-\$

Because this a very beautifull port.
There is no other harbour like the curacao harbour.

Here are pics

I agree thet the port of Willemstad is very interesting and beautiful, I have had the privilege to sail into it some 30 years ago.
But we have to remember that SS is a commercial product, so, yes we can ask Vstep to include extra environments into the game but I think first we have to agree if we are willing to pay for addons.
If enough players will pay a certain amount for extra vessels and or environments than maybe it would be lucrative for Vstep to dedicate some resources for it.

I like you thoughts on the port

Matthew Brown · « **Reply #41 on:** November 13, 2010, 16:56:41 »

saltydog · « **Reply #43 on:** November 14, 2010, 15:27:05 »

I guess it just goes to show: beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

Matthew Brown · « **Reply #44 on:** November 14, 2010, 15:31:02 »
