Hi everybody, this is the oceanliner "RMS MAJESTIC", former "SS BISMARCK".

Why the german HAPAG-Liner "Bismarck" became the brithish White-Star-Liner "Majestic" will be explained in the following paragraph:
(or you just watch the video, it's also explaied there)

Some historic stuff
The "SS BISMARCK" was the third ship of the Imperator-class-trio, her sisterships were the "SS IMPERATOR" and "SS VATERLAND".
The ship was launched in 1914 and became the world's biggest ship, with 56.551 BRT, it was about 10.000 BRT bigger than the Titanic.
But the german HAPAG-Liner "SS Bismarck" wasn't even completed when WW1 started. So it took much more time to complete the ship and
during the war, the german submarines sunk many british ships, also the White-Star-Line's "HMHS Britannic".
Then, Germany has lost the war and had to pay reperations to the allies, so in 1922, the just finished "Bismarck" was handed over
to the british White-Star-Line and became the "RMS Majestic"
In 1936, the "Majestic" should have been sold for scrapping, but it was converted into a Boys' and
Artificers' training ship and was renamed as "HMS Caledonia"
After the outbreak of WW2, the "Caledonia" should become a troop-transporter, but in 1939, she cought fire and burnt out, sinking at her moorings.
The wreck was sold in 1940 for scrap.

This ship was built by Lins and Philipp by LPH Shipyard
Special thanks to CreeperCraftCity, from him we got deckplans, pictures and information.
Without him, this project wouldn't even have beed possible.
So now, feel free to download the maps. If you like it, it would be great, if you diamond it! :)
