It's perhaps a bit late to be asking, considering I've already got 20 whirring contraptions saved up, but has anyone else tried building a zubmarine? What benefits does it provide compared to other ships?

Directly, it increases Bizarre. Indirectly, you have a slightly safer journey than any other ship. (The Yacht is more profitable/luxurious; the clipper is faster; and the steamer has less cards, which makes trips more reliable)

Safer is nice, seems I made a good choice then.

If you just want to cross, safer is nice. If, however, you want to reach the storm-tossed depths of the ocean, safer is a liability. Then again, so is speed. The zubmarine is a pretty decent choice really.

The Troubled Waters quality is easily ignored, though; it's very rare for it to actually rise to a problematic level (11) before the end of your journey. Personally, I prefer the clipper; it provides a significant speed boost without any extra increase in Troubled Waters. And the most common complaint about sailing the Unterzee is that it's action-consuming, not that it's dangerous.
Still, though, feel free to make your own decisions. The Zubmarine does provide a number of useful options on other cards, and the +2 bizarre can come in handy.

There are reasons to want to get Troubled Waters high however, for seeking a certain animal I believe.

Can you build multiple ships?

I greatly enjoy meeting delicious new friends and participating in deliciously exciting new adventures! Please feel free to drop a card to meet for dinner, exchange favors, give an interview, or any other activity that comes to mind. I DO particpate in exchanges requiring Fate, BUT you must contact me first; twitter, facebook, or here on the forums via PM.
Note: I am currently exchanging parcels with a large number of dear friends and my parcel opportunities are rare. I am always willing to exchange but your rate of return may be rather slow. To find others to exchange with I recommend the Starveling list.

Sadly no, the Masters only allow you to posses one ship at a time, so you'll have to part with your current ship if you want a different type.

Just a quick note, Little The is incorrect, the zub only gives +1 to bizarre.
Also the answer to Ms. Frost's question is no - one ship at a time.
