r/Oceanlinercreations

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 To celebrate the occasion I've decided to draw up and post one of my very own fictional ocean liners to the sub, complete with it's own shipping line, technical merits and service history :)

Introducing the RMS Canada, the leadship of the Canada-class series of liners built by Orenda Shipyards Limited, and owned and operated by Canada's very own "Maple Leaf Line." She is the pride and symbol of Canadian brilliance, the very name of the nation on the seas. Taking passengers to and fro from Halifax, Nova Scotia and in port via Queenstown, Ireland, Cherbourg, France and Southampton, England. She has rightfully earned her name as "The Queen of the Great White North."

This is my design for Cunard’s next ocean liner, the predecessor to the RMS Queen Mary 2. It’s entirely hand drawn, so it’s not perfect, but still ain’t too bad. I personally am on a path to become a naval architect, so this design could possibly see the light of day, or at least parts of it on the next ocean liner.

Some interior renders I did for my fictional RMS Monarch ship. Designed everything myself for these spaces.

A timeline for the sinking of the RMS Monarch I did: the fictional ship I designed. An explosive set off in its cargo hold, causing it to sink rapidly while fires spread through the ship. It eventually capsized and sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean.

Hi. It has been a, rather, blessed Summer for me. I don't know what to say but I'll be inactive in this sub for who knows how long. But I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all for being there to support my work. Everything you say can and will inspire people like me to draw ships like this in the future, even those new.

With every step of the way and school coming back, I won't be drawing any more ships, although I've already planned one in a scenario when I might return. I'm always happy and ready to introduce something new to this sub, happy to see people learn and develop their own designs and stories from my work and others, and maybe someday it will be put to good use. There is always time to get better.

Once more, I love you all. It's not really common for me to express something truly worth appreciating for, as my artistic talent is a gift from our Lord and Savior, always first. Though I'll be gone, I would like to see this sub grow more vocal and interesting as it goes, and if there's a time where I can be more expressive and original with my work, I would really love to be there. See you around and stay tuned!

(I apologize for the terrible quality.)

Company: Oceanic Steam Navigation Co. (Fictional)

GRT: 47K

Length: 903 ft

Speed: 23 Knots

DISCLAIMER: All events here have been made up or exaggerated for storytelling, this should NOT be taken as a historical documentary and will require double, possibly triple-checking before trusting any source, whether it is from AI Overview or others.

Lore: As Archaic's debut stacked popularity in ocean travel interests, Oceanic Steam Navigation had already planned a sister ship to accompany her as they take to the world stage. Only slightly longer and heavier, the name IDYLLIC would capture peacetime in her era, and already delighted by the idea of more private staterooms and safety, they constructed the ship in Belfast. Surprisingly, the ship came along really smooth, and took the Blue Riband for its marvelous engineering during its maiden voyage. An achievement that would hold for a significant amount of time throughout her career.

The Great War erased any potential for further crossings and status, but nonetheless the ship continued to operate commercially. Interestingly, during one of her crossings, she was being stalked by a German U-Boat, and at some point the crew made a regrettable mistake by overtaking the giant liner, ultimately ending up getting rammed by its massive, sharp bow which instantly split it in two and sank it. American citizens happened to be onboard at the time and it would've been a tragedy if it weren't for the crew. Because of this, she was requisitioned for troop transportation, taking soldiers from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Southampton, and New York to the battlefield. That event too became one of many factors for why the US joins later, despite the latter going under the radar.

Idyllic was able to serve her country in the war effort, and as soon as it ended, she quickly had to return to passenger service. Sadly, since most of the ship's interiors were removed, her accommodations were less glamorous compared to her twin, leading to shifted preference on RMS Archaic. When the Great Depression began to affect the company, the twins were laid up for scrapping, and Idyllic was the first to go due to her size. Before the people had to convince them to preserve the two, the Idyllic had already been scrapped up to her waterline. Fortunately, pieces of her were reused to build the Oceanic, her greater sister whom will compete with the likes of Valhalla and her sisters (who recaptured the Blue Riband after 20 years!), the Normandie, and maybe a friendly showdown with Queen Mary. At least her service inspires later generations, as the world keeps going.
