SS Lady Grey (1910)
Introducing the Lady Grey, named after Queen Jane Grey. The SS Lady Grey, like the Queen, sank 9 days into her maiden voyage. She was en route to Queens, New York from Southampton.
9 days into her voyage, the second to last day, a boiler in the third boiler room exploded from being overheated, causing a small hole in her hull. As more water rushed in, more boilers exploded.
About an hour into her sinking, the SS Lady Grey split in half. Passengers and crew were pulled into the gap between the stern and bow. The bow was detached from the weight 15 minutes after she split. 10 minutes later, she sank. Rougly 700 passengers and crew died.

Anyways, all the serious stuff out of the way, I am REALLY proud of this ship. She took about the same time as the smaller ships that I have, which is actually shocking. Her interior is just *chef kiss* I'm really proud of it. ALSO the video series goes up to D Deck and the last decks are going to come out on the 3rd of June!
