This is a fictional ship.
Name: RMS Leviathan
Owner: White Star Line
Builder: Harland & Wolff shipyard
Country: United Kingdom
Total construction cost: £500,000 ($20 to $30 million today)
Laid down: August 10th 1920
Launched: May 21st 1921
Maiden Voyage: July 15th 1921
Identification: LVTH
In service: July 15th 1921
Out of service: January 5th 1940
Fate: Sunk 1:00 am on January 5th 1940 from structural damage from a 90 foot rogue wave
Tonnage: 8,000 GRT
Displacement: 10,000 tons
Length: 98 meters (321.5 feet)
Beam: 21 meters (68.9 feet)
Height: 45 meters (147.6 feet) (Keel to tops of the masts)
Decks: 4 (Boat deck, A, B, and orlop/tank top)
Funnels: 2
Watertight compartments: 5
Installed power: 4 double-ended boilers (1 boiler room), 2 reciprocating engines. 8,000 horsepower or 5,970 Kilowatts
Propulsion: Twin propellers
Speed: 17 knots (31.5 kilometers per hour or 19.6 miles per hour)
Capacity: 450 passengers in two classes (First and steerage), 150 crew. 600 total
Lore: Following World War 1, the post-war boom gave rise to many powerful ocean liners as countries scrambled to replace ships lost during the war. One of the ships built during this time was RMS Leviathan, owned by the White Star Line.
After her maiden voyage in July of 1921, she quickly became one of the most popular ships for transatlantic crossings. She continued serving as a passenger liner for many years, even during the outbreak of World War 2.
Around midnight on January 5th 1940, Leviathan was hit head-on by a 90 foot rogue wave. The wave greatly weakened the ship’s hull, leading to water entering the first 2 of her 5 watertight compartments.
The ship quickly began to sink. Her captain ordered a distress call sent out and the lifeboats prepared. The ship’s 6 lifeboats could only carry around 390 people, a little over half of the ship’s population of 600.
At 12:30 am, a mere half hour after the impact, the ship’s 4 boilers began to explode in a chain reaction as the hot furnaces met cold seawater. The ship lost steam pressure quickly, leading to an immediate loss of power.
Without power, the lights went out, plunging the ship in darkness. Leviathan’s stern slowly rose into the air. Her captain remained on the bridge until the end. He went down with the ship.
At 1:00 am, only an hour after the impact with the wave, the ship gave a violent shudder before her stern rose vertically and plunged into the sea.
In total, 210 people were lost that night, many succumbing to hypothermia from the freezing Atlantic. By morning, only 390 of the ship’s population of 600 were still alive. Rescue ships soon arrived on the scene and began rescuing survivors.

Note: When you download the world, the file is named RMS Krinross. That was the original name of the world and ship. I changed the name to Leviathan.
