Now I present to you the S.S. Victoria Luise from the german Hamburg - America Line. She was the former speed liner S.S. Deutschland which was converted from 1910 to 1911 in the biggest first class only cruise ship of her time.
It have a full explorable interior to walk through and you can find a lot of interior and exterior differences to the S.S. Deutschland I built before.
Special thanks to:
CronosDarth for the server place and the nice render.
GenerationGame who found for me the Cabin-Plans of the Victoria Luise I could use.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
In 1910, Hamburg America withdrew Deutschland from
transatlantic service and converted her to a dedicated cruise ship — one
of the first liners of the 20th century to operate as such. Her
original engines were derated as a high service speed was no longer
needed. At the same time, the exterior of the ship was repainted in all
white and her passenger capacity was also reduced to only 500
first-class passengers. She was also given a new name, Viktoria Luise. She replaced their first purpose-built cruise ship of similar name (Prinzessin Victoria Luise) that ran aground and was destroyed off the coast of Jamaica in 1906.
On 8 June 1914, Vitoria Luise ran aground in the Elbe and developed a list. Her engine rooms flooded. She was later refloated,[5] repaired, and returned to service.

First of all let me tell you that the model of the Victoria is absolutely astonishing and the details are immaculine.
Though since I've been researching the Deutschland for over 3 years now I've managed to find one small mistake that you must have done accidentally.
Im afraid that the Telegraphic office isn't above the 1st class deck house on boat deck, its located at the back right above the tea room (old grill room).
You can see that there is a line heading from the aft deck house all the way up to the telegraph line on some of the photographs.
I made some other mistakes too, like with the swimming pool position and entrance. But i hope I can redo the SS Deutshcland and all of her varaints in the closer future again and so correct all my old mistakes.
If you have more helpfull information to this ship I would be happy if you like to share it with me via private messages.
