Original apart of a crew of 3 [[Deckhands]], IronGolem5, Silver_Wild, and DeDerpyDerp_. DeDerpyDerp_ set out south of their original fort near [[East]] for a place to build a port. After receiving the rank of Firstmate, which he wanted to be able to sail a Frigate, he beached his small dhow at the current location of Port Potato. After constructing a small base, he set north and found a Frigate, to his surprise it was unclaimed. He captured it and sailed it to the Port and thus the Port Potato Navy was created, with the first ship being [[DNS Surprise]]. The first crew DeDerpyDerp_ was in was "[[DNE]]", which didn't last long. Soon, [[Sonu06]] of the crew AQUA asked DeDerpyDerp__ to join him, which he accepted. His 2 friends were kept in the dark of the port, in order to surprise them.

As DeDerpyDerp__ invested into the port, becoming more active, his friends became less active. Not much is recorded of this time, sadly. A more indepth account is taken here: [[DNE]]

"''I was the only active member of Port Potato, now under CSN rule. Due to me wanting to fully own the port, I had enough, raised my flag back ontop of the Port, and due to CSN probably forgetting about the Port, got away with claiming independence without any allied forces helping. This somehow worked. I would also like to point out how later both Caldera23 and Romich06 gave me back my port at a later date, as they couldn't remember owning it. ''" [No offense intented to CSN]

'''Port Potato Railways:'''
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 (Now Port Potato), then under water to the Eastern part of Southern Port Potato (Now Port Potato). ("Port Potato Railways" has been declared the name.)

*10/4/2021 - Due to how narrow Potato Bay is, many docks have been canceled. The Bay will now be more of a mooring spot then docks. 2 full sized docks will still be installed at South-East Port Potato. The Northern Coast of Southern Port Potato (Now Port Potato) is planned to take 1 50x27 ship, and many dhows/schooners. (These smaller ships will have a dedicated spot to be moored.

"Besides many minor updates, including the villie hall update, Port Potato has finally gotten rid of her extra copper, now only losing an estimated sum of $3,250. (Ow)"
7/24/2023: ''This section is narrated by [[DeDerpyDerp_]]''
"Port Potato has been undergoing many changes recently, the key things being a new and improved Villager Breeder design, from Melon LLC. (We think of it as a return on our investment into helping create [[Melon LLC]] with [[Blobfish123|the_classy_blob]]. We are also still upgrading our villie hall, having/making room for more then 50 villagers, beating many villie halls on the server with our prices. Finally, we're working on expanding and reworking our catacombs to look better, and make ease of logistics within Port Potato easier. This will soon include adding some rail lines below Port Potato, hopefully making a worthy successor to Port Potato Railways. (Due to working to rework Old Port Potato, and the wall around (new) Port Potato, the aboveground line has been abandoned and sloppily maintained. More progress reports will be coming soon.)"

"I move in the 16th. I cannot see a way I can keep the shop stocked, or to be active enough to have a shop. I lack interest in almost everything I do, and just can't seem to get myself to log in in my rare freetime. Sadly, it would appear I must yet again take a break from PMC. I shall return, at some point. It's been an honor, and '''may the winds ever help you in your battles, and may we never cross cannons or swords.'''" 
Sorry mates, it's been fun. o7
