Now it's time for wisdom from Lost Liner Legend!
•Queen Mary, a 1936 4-funneled ship, is floating in a Long Island harbor as a hotel. Strange, isn't it?
•Many liners (with exception of Olympic, see below) last only 2 years, on estimate, before they are scraped or sunk. Here is a list of White Star, Cunard, Canadian Pacific and French Line ships and their "deaths"/ " injuries":
-Titanic: (White Star Line) She was sunk by an iceberg in the north Atlantic.
-Olympic: (White Star Line, older sister of Titanic) She was scraped after 25 years of service as a commercial liner and a warship during WW1.
-Normandie: (French Line) She tipped over due to a fill up of water, hauled to a shipyard months later, and was destroyed shortly after.
-Empress of Ireland: (Canadian Pacific Line) She was rammed in the hull by the Stanford, a smaller iron-hulled ship, shortly after departure; her final resting place is the bottom of the St. Lawrence River in Canada.
-Britannia: (Cunard Line) She was sunk by a mine off the island of Key, and was down in 20 minutes and the water in who she sunk was ⅓ of her length; she was forgotten for 60 years until she was rediscovered.
-Lusitania: (Cunard Line) She was sunk by a torpedo; her captain was supposed to preform a zigzag motion to avoid it, but he thought that he was supposed to do it after a torpedo was spotted.
You remember the question Gemmy asked for me about naming a character? Well, combining my knowledge of liners and Gemmy's authoring skills, I am writing a story featuring Harold Biship (which is the guy I made from the names y'all suggested). But I shall not publish it on here! I want to make it into a movie.
Sincerely,
