History[]

Ch64 Campania sinking

The Campania sinking

Its maiden voyage was scheduled to depart from Southampton on April 17 and arrive in New York City.[14] Three days after departing, the Aurora Society had its meeting and accidentally released the Bizarre Dolls, who began attacking the ship's passengers. After the captain was killed by the Bizarre Dolls, the ship had no administration, thus it crashed into an iceberg. It was predicted to sink within one hour of the crash by both Sebastian Michaelis and Ronald Knox.[15]

Its lifeboats were then distributed in order to escape the imminent sinking disaster. Edward Midford was guiding the passengers, using the policy of women and children first.[13] Consequently, it began capsizing, sending many who were not on the lifeboats to their deaths.[16]

Campania's Captain and Edward Smith

The captain of the Campania (left) and of the RMS Titanic (right).

  • The Campania is based on the sinking of the White Star Line's RMS Titanic.
    • The Campania was under the Blue Star Line; the RMS Titanic was under the White Star Line. Though probably meant as a parallel, a real Blue Star Line existed. Both the White Star Line and the Blue Star line were British shipbuilders.
    • Both ships departed on the month of April, from Southampton, England on a maiden voyage to New York City, America.
    • Both had reciprocating steam engines.
    • The captain greatly resembled Edward Smith, the RMS Titanic's captain. Both died on/with their respective ships.
    • Both ships were struck by an iceberg at night, puncturing several watertight compartments. Both broke in two before completely sinking.[20]
    • At the bow, Grelle Sutcliff and Ronald Knox enacted[21] what was likely a reference to one of the most famous scenes of the 1997 international blockbuster Titanic, which was based on the historical sinking of the RMS Titanic.[22]

  • In Book of the Atlantic, the Campania is under the Majestic Star Line instead of the Blue Star Line.
