RMS Laconia was a Cunard ocean liner built by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson, launched on 27 July 1911, with the wife of the U.S. Ambassador Mrs. Whitelaw Reid christening the vessel. Laconia was delivered to the Cunard Line on 12 December 1911, and began service on 20 January 1912. She was the first Cunard ship of that name. She was torpedoed and sunk on 25 February 1917 during World War 1, 12 passengers were killed.
Laconia was intended for the Liverpool-Boston service with cruising from New York to the Mediterranean off season. The ship was the first British ship and first North Atlantic liner to be equipped with anti-roll tanks.
Remember if you wish to build this ship as part of a downloadable project, a YouTube video or a conversion to other games, Then please give credit for the design, I spend many hundreds of hours building these ship and don’t get much for it, so a little more support is appreciated, Thank you
