Description The 'Alexandria' is a fictional ship from an alternate universe story I have written from which she belongs.
---

launched in 1910, The R.M.S. 'Alexandria' of the British based 'Neptune Line' quickly eclipsed Cunards' Lusitania and Mauritania in terms of size and luxury. named after the Tsaress of Russia, she is almost the three times the length of her british rivals. She has five funnels to assert her dominance.

Capable of carrying upwards of 3,000 passengers from Liverpool to New York in under 6 days, she is a technological masterpiece.

While her british company basks in her glory, an american shipping line, Hale, is out for revenge. The previous holders of the Blue Ribband and the ex-largest transatlantic line, they are unhappy about the cut into thier profits the Alexandria is causing.
The heads of the Hale Line devise a cunning plan to solve the threat once and for all. With a team of agents serving as crewmembers aboard the Alexandria, all they need is some way to sink the ship and ruin the neptune Lines' reputation. They have the perfect bomb. All they need to do is get it aboard...

Long ago (long before I joined Deviantart) I was making a story about a ship named RMS Alexandria. The ship had five funnels and a black and blue hull, with a white top structure. Then, I found that you had done the exact same thing on Deviantart!!

So sorry if you think I am copying or "stealing" your idea. I did not know.

Haha no worries. It's not a particularly special name so I can see it coming up fairly easily. After all, there were some famous Alexandra's in history.

There's was an actual ship that had five funnels. Do you know what that ship is?

I do not think any commercial ships did, though warships probably

Correction. The S.S. Great Eastern had five funnels, though one of them was taken off.


Note: Here are the only military ships with 5 and more funnels:

It is fairly interesting. I think I might put it in the short story book I want to sell.
The smaller sister for this ship needs a name. Im thinking SS Atlantica or SS Pacifica but I'm not sure. She is like the Empress of Ireland so you know

Steamer442 In reply to Denodon [2009-08-06 14:21:00 +0000 UTC]

1. You're writing a book? So am I! I've been working on mine for 5 years and it's still not done.
2. I think the SS Pacifica sounds good. It has more of a ring in my opinion.

God luck on the book and the pics, man!

Thank You, sounds good. Mine I've been working on for two years.

SS Pacifica it is. Flying the Australian merchant navy flag from the stern and the RSC pendant from mainmast while US flag flies from the foremast indicating destination

well the hull is Deep blue (appears black) with gold bar then white superstructure. Funnels are a buff colour (very close to White Star colour) with the black top. Rings on funnel are white
