A few more

Only three this time.  the first is taken from the noted source which
is where the eckplans will be found (I wrote it up for myself to make
it "standard").  The last two are gnomish vessels I never really
finished designing.  The paddlewheelr is supposed to be similr to a
paddlewheel riverboat with paddles in rear.  The Ironclad is the same
vessel as a sidewheeler but the paddles are on the side are covered
with a protective shell and the whole thing is armor plated and armed.
 It's also larger as even a tinker gnome knows larger ships are
warships.  I don't really think gnomish vessels should have standard
deck plans as I see their inner working (and outer) always being
redesigned by the gnomes for "greater efficiency".  Basically think of
a paddlewheeler as slightly different sidewheeler (the standard
gnomish vessel) and an ironclad as a more makeshift warship than the
tinker gnome warship of choice:  the deathglory.

     The heavy or old style galleon was an earlier, larger form of
galleon used on many worlds.  Due to its age and scarcity it is rarely
seen in space but some captains do prefer it, just as clippers are
seeing more and more use despite being "groundling vessels".  This is
the type of galleon the Sky Ranger is (from The Sea of Sorrow, Dungeon
#36).  The map therefrom can be used for any of these ships though
there is a difference:  most don't have the upper deck filled with
bombards, this fills 10 tons of the Sky Ranger's cargo space (leaving
it with only 30 tons of cargo space, as listed in its description).
