What am I doing wrong to change a parameter?

I am trying to change the type of spaceship to a specific type of spaceship but nothing I have tried is working. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    public String shipType;

    public String getShipType() {
      return shipType;
    }

    public void setShipType(String shipType) {
      this.shipType = shipType;
    }

    public Spaceship(String Spaceship) {
      this.shipType = "SHUTTLE";
    }
}

Hi Travis

In your constructor try this: public Spaceship(String type) { this.shipType = type; }

Thank you Ian.

That didn't work either so maybe its a glitch. I am skipping this slide so I can move forward.
