[[Yraglacus]], a shipwright well know on the server (at least to Port Potato's allies) wished to create a crew, [[Prussia (PRSA)]].

* 8/19/2021 - The [[DNS Southernly Gale]] was rushed back to [[Visitopia]]. She was converted at sea months ago to blockade the CSN *insert name here* 4th rate ship of the line. She was hidden behind an old forgotten naval fortress. She is now in[[Visitopia]]'s main harbor, with her fate either scraping or to be sent to Port Potato, either as a museum ship, or parts ship. She has been dubbed not fit for war. | * 8/19/2021 - The [[DNS Southernly Gale]] was rushed back to [[Visitopia]].

* 8/21/2021 - Port Potato has started a new project, as apart of the Expansion Era III project; to build a tunnel to connect the two halves of Port Potato to allow for easier access. It was decided to not be ocean level, as it would block the insignificant river and a few non-Port Potato ships into a small "lake". (As so far we have no intel suggesting they are submersible.) | * 8/21/2021 - Port Potato has started a new project, as apart of the Expansion Era III project; to build a tunnel to connect the two halves of Port Potato to allow for easier access.

Port Potato, after seeing a small railroad North West of Port Potato (The "[[Mithlond]] Railways"); has started building our own railroad. It will stretch from the Drydocks, go around Potato Bay, Stop at the current western-most tip of Port Potato (Proper), go via land south to Southern Port Potato, then under water to the Eastern part of Southern Port Potato.

'''2/2/22 Progress Report''' | |||
As of the end of the day, Port Potato has established a road link to [[Mithlond]], and has mostly finished her 2 main ways, the East Wall, and West Wall. Both these walls are mostly cosmetic, and don't have a gatehouse yet. Port Potato also now has a fountain, with a second beacon for Southern Port Potato (Second beacon and fountain as Fig. 6). Port Potato will also have actual Drydocks, instead of "wet drydocks", where the water never actually got drained. The official size will be 2 50x20 drydocks. Recommended max size of a ship will likely be 46x17, to allow room on both sides and to prevent the ship claiming the dock as her own. At the same time, [[VISN]] has announced [[Project Black Horse]], more details there. Tl;dr VISN will now move to being an ocean going crew. | |||
