Long boat tie ship is a 13-cell still life.

As its name implies, it involves a long boat having been tied to a ship.

Construction

This still life is known to be constructible with 5 gliders.[1] A 5-glider synthesis was found in 2016.[2]

Occurrence

See also: List of common still lifes

Long boat tie ship is the ninety-first most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than cis-bun and wing but more common than beehive at beehive.[4]

It is the 90th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than beehive at beehive but more common than cis-boat on cap. It is the 4th most common still life with 13 cells, being less common than trans-snake on bun but more common than cis-boat on cap.[5] It is also the most common object on Catagolue for which no 4-glider synthesis is known.

This still life occurs in final patterns of three collisions in the octo3obj database.[6]
