This is a ship known as Whaleback Ore Carrier, the Frank Rockefeller, 106 metres long, 14.6 metres beam, the original ship was built in 1896, and later renamed Meteor. The name comes from the unusual deck shape for a ship.

It is designed to be used with the ore dock – the hatch spacing matches the dock chutes. The ship loads ore or coal from the Ore Dock Large Loader model and discharges or loads at the Hulett Ore Unloader or the Ore Conveyor gantry Loader.

The vessel opens and closes the hatches for loading, emits funnel smoke, and dust from the ore hatches when loading. It settles lower in the water as it is loaded.

There are three Whaleback ore carriers available, this is the John Ericsson and a Generic version of the model. They will operate with the ore dock loaders.

To complete a scene, parts of a whaleback as hulks being stripped are available as static models.

The James Hart is a driveable tugboat based on American design of the late 1900s. It is about 30 metres long and 400 tonnes. The model has animated search lighting and it will load passengers.

The C.R.Campbell is a driveable tugboat based on one used in Moreton Bay, Brisbane. The original vessel is 19.2 metres long and moves barges carrying silica sand. The model allows the tugboat to be renamed from within Surveyor, choosing from a number of preset names. It will carry passengers – coming soon.

The tugboats may be used to tow or push ships or barges.
