FICTIONAL STORY

RMS Topaz was laid down, and like the steamship Pyrope, was delayed. In 1879, the Pyrope broke apart during a storm, and sank not long after the launch of the new steamship Topaz.
In order to help pay off the company’s debt, following several lawsuits against the Gem Line, the hull of Topaz was auctioned off the the Greyhound Line, for £250,000. Topaz was renamed the Seattle, where she was finished under the same shipyard, fitted out, and delivered by late 1880. In 1881, Seattle would enter service, where she served the less popular Liverpool to Halifax route. Seattle’s interior was by no means, not the most decorated. She had limited saloon class accommodation, and mostly steerage. Second cabin was completely removed, while the rest of her layout was changed, in attempt to disguise her relation to the disastrous Pyrope. This indeed worked, as the Seattle served an uneventful, and reliable life with Greyhound, without any issue, aside from her tendency to vibrate at full speed.
In late 1889, the Seattle ran onto rocks near Halifax, where she miraculously survived, thanks to the experienced crew, taking proper precautionary measures, via closing watertight doors, venting steam, evacuating passengers, and locking all doors and windows, to prevent any water from working its way in. This worked, and one week later, the Seattle was pulled from the rocks successfully. She underwent emergency repairs, where her crushed-in lower bow was repaired. She re-entered service two months after the incident.
In 1895, Seattle underwent a large refit. Her hull was painted white, steerage was removed, being replaced with additional saloon accommodation, and overall luxury was boosted. The Seattle was now, a cruise, refitted specifically for Mediterranean service, serving alongside the SS Bennetsville, Jacksonville, and the rest of her sisters.
In 1907, Seattle would receive her last refit, with the addition of tourist class accommodation, and additional emergency rafts on her aft deckhouses.
In April of 1912, the Seattle would collide with fishing vessel in the Mersey. Minor damage was sustained to the Seattle, but the fishing vessel regrettably had her starboard side crushed in. It’s occupants were evacuated, and the fishing ship was towed ashore, with none hurt. On December 8th, 1915, one day after the Royal Albatross sinking, Seattle’s fleet mate, the SS Jacksonville, was torpedoed, and violently exploded, breaking her in half, and sinking her. Inquiries followed, where 1/3 of the blame was placed directly on the Greyhound Line. The already struggling company could do nothing to stop the boycotts on the company itself, and Jacksonville’s fleet mate, the Seattle.
The Greyhound Line thus, went bankrupt in February, of 1916. The Seattle was moored at the Greyhound pier in New York, where she sat idle, until The Great War ended. Afterwards, in December of 1918, after failing to find a buyer, the Seattle was sold for scrap. She was broken up in 1919, where her interior furnishings were re-used by several shipping lines.

CREDITS

The S.S Seattle would not be possible without the generous donation of aNormalCommentor's hull, which was used for this vehicle.

ENCLOSURE

We hope that you will enjoy your time aboard the S.S Seattle, a fictional ocean steamship built in 1881 under my fictional Stomworks shipping line, the Greyhound Steam Navigation Company. Bon Voyage!

After two years of playing Stormworks, specifically interested in ships, I stumbled upon this great steamship. The interior is so thoughtful and well designed. I'd like to point out the lights as well; whatever was done to the color of the lights just completely elevates the class of the overall design. Great work and I recommend this ship to all! Please keep making!!
