The best boat Lego have ever produced. — “Even the most sentimental Lego fan would have to admit that most Lego sets have got a lot better since 1973. However, these 1973 boats remain the best Lego have ever produced. This boat allowed children to build boats of four different lengths (0, 1, 2, or 3 central... More sections), and build whatever superstructure they wanted to on top.”

About LEGOLAND

The LEGO LEGOLAND theme, introduced in the 1970s and continuing into the 1980s, comprised sets that replicated everyday scenes, vehicles, and buildings in a more simplistic style than later themes. These sets, pre-dating the minifigure era, were designed to represent various aspects of life, from towns to vehicles to castles. The LEGOLAND theme was foundational in the evolution of LEGO, bridging the gap between basic brick building and the more themed, narrative-driven sets that would become standard in subsequent years.
Summary
LEGOLAND Cargo Ship set 312 was released in June 1973, retailing for $20, but has since been retired. New, unopened Cargo Ship sets are valued at $459, while used sets can be found for $40 in good condition.
