ANCIENT CRAFT WITH CAREFUL TOUCH
Easily one of Venice's most famous symbols - and an exceptionally beautiful and complex craft - is the gondola, an asymmetric boat designed to be operated by just one rower - whose shape offsets the force from the singular pilot. And this is where they're made! Take it from me, you're missing out if your fantasy world doesn't have a Venice equivalent; and if you happen to want to feature a wonderful piece of real-world culture, look no further.

Included in this pack is a set of drydocks suitable for gondolas and other watercraft; also included are variants to aid you in generating scenarios for use - ranging from a custom and extrordinary gaudy royal commission to a blazing inferno.

In addition to the above, this map comes with a pack of five boats - three gondolas (one ordinary, one unfinished, and a royal gondola) plus two rowboats (as a bonus!)

VARIANT DRYDOCKS
This map comes with the following major variants:

A gondola drydock and workshop, loosely modeled after a historic dock in real-world Venice!
Sky variants for your airships!
Underground variants for your dwarf-ships!
Versions with cleared docks for other ships!
Maps with a custom commissioned gondola of exceptional ... "taste". (This is historically accurate; Venetian authorities passed a host of anti-gaudiness regulations that involved, amongst other things, the law that all gondolas wererequired to be painted pitch black - which persists to this day!
A blazing inferno! Who started it?
Day, night, and storm variants of all of the above!

TECHNICAL DETAILS
All variants are as follows:

Resolution: 2,380 x 3,080
Map Size: 17x22 tiles
Grid Size: 140ppi

The boats have their size listed in their name, but just in case, the gondolas are 7 squares long and the rowboats are 3 and 2 squares long respectively.
