Here is some lore for one of my ships: In 1865, the White Funnel Line found themselves in need of a new class of ship to cater to the increasing demand for luxury travel. The decision was made to launch the S.S Pacific class, with the first ship, the S.S Pacific, hitting the waters in 1869. Following closely behind was the S.S Arctic, launched in late 1868 and embarking on its maiden voyage the following year. Passengers flocked to book tickets on the S.S Arctic, with a saloon class ticket costing 134 pounds and steerage ticket priced at 57 pounds. The ship quickly gained a reputation for its opulent interiors and impeccable service, attracting travelers from all walks of life. However, tragedy struck in 1872 when the S.S Arctic collided with a smaller sailing vessel during a voyage. While the sailing vessel sank, the S.S Arctic managed to sail back to port and undergo repairs. The incident served as a grim reminder of the perils of the open seas. As the years went by, the S.S Arctic continued to sail the oceans, but by 1879, late in its career, the ship embarked on what would be its final voyage. The ship set off into the horizon, never to be seen again. A lone flipped lifeboat discovered a month later, along with a bottle containing a mysterious message, shed light on the ship's final moments. The message, dated December 23rd, 1879, detailed the deteriorating condition of the ship amidst a massive storm. The writer's words were cut short, indicating that they were unable to finish as the situation grew dire. The fate of the S.S Arctic and all onboard remained shrouded in mystery for years to come. It wasn't until 1979, a century after the ship disappeared, that the wreck of the S.S Arctic was finally discovered. The vessel lay upside down on the ocean floor, a haunting reminder of the tragedy that befell the 290 passengers and 140 crew members onboard. The tale of the S.S Arctic would forever be etched in history as a cautionary tale of the dangers that lurk in the vast expanse of the sea. Lore of the ship she collided with: The S.S Greatern Ocean had a long and storied history before her tragic end. Originally built in 1840 as a small coal carrying sailing vessel, she was known for her speed and agility on the high seas. In 1860, she underwent a major refit, being fitted with a propeller and a steam engine, making her one of the first ships of her kind to be powered by both wind and steam. Despite her age and outdated design, the Greatern Ocean continued to sail the open waters, carrying cargo and passengers to distant ports. However, her time was running out, as newer, faster ships were making her obsolete. In 1872, she was deemed no longer seaworthy and was on her way to be scrapped. It was on that fateful day, as she sailed towards her final destination, that the Greatern Ocean collided with the S.S Arctic, a larger and more modern vessel. The impact was devastating, and the Greatern Ocean quickly began to take on water. Despite the efforts of the crew to save her, she sank beneath the waves, breaking into two parts - her stern and bow. The wreck of the Greatern Ocean now lies on the ocean floor, a silent witness to her final moments. Most of her wooden structure has long since rotted away, but her keel and a few other small parts remain, a reminder of the once proud ship she had been. All of the crew on board the Greatern Ocean were able to escape the sinking ship, except for a 17-year-old boy who lost his life in the collision. His sacrifice serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of the sea and the unpredictability of maritime travel. As the years pass, the story of the S.S Greatern Ocean fades into obscurity, her name forgotten by all but a few. But for those who remember her, she will always be a symbol of the brave sailors who sailed her, and the tragic end that awaited her on that fateful day.
