The Grand Korrigan riverboat, docked at the port of Saint Denis.
Steamboats appear as a cinematic element and as a mission location in Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2, but are not used by the player for transportation in either game.
Description[]
Red Dead Redemption[]
The game's opening cinematic depicts John Marston arriving in Blackwater on the steamboat Morningstar. The player is not in control of the character at this time and has no opportunity to explore the Morningstar at any point during the game.
At the southern shore of the Great Plains region in the West Elizabeth territory, there is an old abandoned port known home to the Wreck of the Serendipity. The port has been abandoned because the large steamboat, the titular Serendipity, has partially sunk and settled on the shallow bed of Flat Iron Lake. This wrecked steamboat is featured in the mission "Bear One Another's Burdens".
Red Dead Redemption 2[]
In Redemption 2, steamboats are featured more than its predecessor, though the player still cannot use them for transportation. Before the events of Red Dead Redemption 2, the Van der Linde gang attempted to rob a steamboat in Blackwater, resulting in the infamous Blackwater Massacre.
Later, in the mission "A Fine Night of Debauchery," the player robs The Grand Korrigan riverboat in Saint Denis with Leopold Strauss, Josiah Trelawny, and Javier Escuella. During this heist, the player partakes in high-stakes poker, and wins a Reutlinger Pocket Watch. When going to the safe upstairs to retrieve the watch, Javier knocks out another guard and holds the pit boss at gunpoint. After killing the pit boss and looting the safe, a gunfight breaks out and the four are forced to jump off the riverboat and swim back to shore. The Grand Korrigan riverboat is also briefly featured in part of the stranger-side mission "The Noblest of Men, and a Woman."
Outside of missions, the player can find steamboats along the docks of Saint Denis and sailing around the Lannahechee River.
Trivia[]
Red Dead Redemption[]
- If the player enters the cheat to play as Jack at the beginning in the game, then players will be able to see the Morningstar ferry. However, it is not solid and walking on board will cause the player to fall through it and drown in the water below.
- The Morningstar steamboat makes a cameo appearance in Max Payne 3's eleventh chapter "Sun Tan Oil, Stale Margaritas, and Greed".
