Story:
In 1913, the RMS Royal Albatross was laid down. In early 1914, the RMS Anchorage was also laid down. Anchorage was to be a half sister to the RMS Royal Albatross and the RMS Wandering Albatross, but she would turn out fairly different. In 1915, the RMS Royal Albatross set sail, but was torpedoed and sank. Not long after, Greyhound’s SS Jacksonville struck a mine, and exploded. These two disasters hit the news all at once, and Greyhound Steam Navigation Company faded out. RMS Anchorage was still on her slipway, with only her hull being done. A new company purchased the incomplete Anchorage, and finished her under the name "USMS Majesty’s Star". After 3 years of service, the Majesty’s Star was put up for sale, after she grounded and was expensive to repair. Greyhound Steam Navigation Company was rebooted the year prior, and used this opportunity to reclaim their Anchorage. The Majesty’s Star was towed off the rocks, and went back to her shipyard. They renamed her back to RMS Anchorage, though she looked almost alien to how she was originally meant to look. Instead of being a four masted, 3 funnelled giant, she was smaller, had only three masts and sported two funnels. RMS Anchorage set sail under her first voyage as a Greyhound ship in March, 1921. Her second voyage, she had a build up of steam. Not as severe as the Great Eastern, but the vessel jolted violently, as steam shot out of her ventilators and whistles. This accident only caused a few crew members to suffer burns, no passengers were harmed. In 1928, she was put on the Liverpool to Gibraltar to Rome route for 6 years, before returning back to North Atlantic service in 1934. The vessel was laid up in 1939, but was requisitioned for WW2 service. The ship did not do well in the war, only a few months into service, she was bombed and started to burn. However, her fires were put out safely, and she was saved. After a calm end to the war, she was laid up one more time before being scrapped in 1947.
