...And so around Titanic's 100th anniversary of her departure from Southhampton, and viewing over the respective galleries of ~soundwave3591, *WWII44, and *Darkclass1 which happen to include Ocean Liners such as the Imperial Dawn , the Green Comet Lines' RMS Alexandra , and Northern Star Liners T. M. S. Europia.
(P.S., if you like Ocean liners, you should really check those deviations out, though one is a WIP, their rather good.)
I felt a little, inspired, to do some work on a ocean liner of my own. To be truthful, I actually have made an ocean liner before, never submitted it though, and it wasn't anything to brag about, as it was from 2008/2009.
So, I went around, looking for inspiration. Nothing too close to Titanic, but a flavour of it's own. So I happened to stumble onto a fellow's shipbucket....ship of a ocean liner that was a later developement of the Olympic, called the Olympic II. I found it was rather nice, and also taking design details from a ship that was planned but never built, called the Oceanic III, I made this by myself in the span of a few days.
To be truthful though, this might look nice to some people, but to others they could tear me a new asshole for some things in terms of the design. Really this is kind of a proto-lance ship, unique, but inspired by real ships and works by other people. If you have any tidbits or critiques of this, feel free to tell me, I might make a follow up ocean liner with that info.
Anywho, this is the Wanderer of the Ocean Cruise Lines. Made to compete with other ships of the day, she was 930ft of sailing palace, with all the latest pleasures and safeties and such aboard since it's completetion in 1922. 810 availabilities in First Class, 650 in Tourist Class (Second), and 950 in Passage Class (Third, though if you were to say "Third Class" instead of "Passage Class" as a crewman, you were fired).
She looks very nice. Stubby funnels, but that adds to her charm in my opinion. What kind of speed could she do? If I had to guess, I would say somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 knots myself, maybe 25.
