Description
SS America by RoomMic

Traveling the high seas with style

The SS America of 1939 was the third ship built for the United States Lines. Designed by William Francis Gibbs (designer of the SS United States in 1952), she was launched the day before WWII began in Europe. Her interiors, designed by a team of two women, were slick and informal late Art Deco that were meant to provide an "atmosphere of cheerfulness and sophisticated charm". During the war, she served as the USS Wakefield, and ferried troops all over the world, as well as back home when the war ended.

Repainted into civilian colors, she served the United States lines until the 1960s, together with her much longer and much faster sister. In 1964, she was sold to Chandris Lines to begin her second career as the SS Australis ( also available on the Workshop! ).
She was wrecked off Fuerteventura in 1994 as the SS American Star ( available here ).

This is a large ocean liner. Modern ships like these crossed the Atlantic from the 1920s to the 1960s, and served in other roles until the 1980s. The premier ocean liner for C:S!

Note that this ship is quite large, coming in at 723 feet (220 M). It's also pretty large in the tri department.

Thank you to all the webstites documenting the SS Australis (there are too many to count). Thanks also to the Facebook group Chadris Lines Memories for providing a rich source of personal photos.

Something appears to be wrong with the passenger ship variant, the game thinks the ship is over double the length than it actually is and it has caused the ship to drift and even beach itself when taking tight turns in rivers

How fresh are we talking? I just started this city last week and I've had a cruise ship dock for maybe a few days? And they haven't spawned at all in that time. I had them downloaded before starting this city.

@Katyusha do they spawn on other maps, or a fresh save? if they do, I can't help. This happened to me on older saves, but not fresh saves, and i never understood the issue.

America and Australis are both broken for me. They spawn for a moment and then immediately de-spawn.

Love this asset! Coincidentally earlier today I saw this new colourized video on YouTube from 1935 featuring NY docks and piers. Maybe you find it interesting: https://youtu.be/vHuK6Q-lC-Y

This is simply stunning ! The workshop needs more of these proper ocean liners. I've also sent a friend request on discord for a possible commission.
