I made a boat that collects trash in the ocean. It has a conveyor that takes trash from the surface and brings it into the boat where it can be compacted and stored. I made it because ocean pollution is an important problem and it can help collect it.

Step 1. I first made the platform onto which I would place everything else.

Step 2. I build conveyors, a compactor and a claw mechanism. These would provide the main functionality of the craft. They would bring in trash, compact it and move it to be stored in the back of the boat.

Step 3. I then made the walls of the boat to house the main components and protect them from the elements.

Step 4. I finally added railings, doors and propellers to finish the build and make it look complete.
