Actually, it could be made narrower and longer, with a sharper head, which would reduce resistance when moving forward.
Perhaps it could still be made ten meters long, resembling a wedge shape, with a tail three meters wide.
It could carry seven or eight people and three tons of charcoal, estimated to travel quite far.
He thinks it could go for hundreds of miles.
If the ship were made larger, with a bigger boiler and steam engine, and more charcoal, he thinks traveling north on the Bird's Nest Plain and south on the Feather Plain by water wouldn't be a problem.
For example, a ship twelve meters long, tail three meters wide.
Ten or so people live on it.
Traveling six kilometers per hour.
Traveling only during the day, around seventy kilometers per day.
It's about three hundred and fifty kilometers from Poor Iron Mountain to the northern part of Bird's Nest Plain. It could be reached in five days.
He estimates five tons of charcoal would be needed.
The problem arises again.
