THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR GETTING THIS THING TO THE FRONT PAGE!!! :D (Happy Sebastian Noises Intensifies)
I GENERAL CARGO SHIP "OTTO" I
A simple and pretty much forgettable cargo ship of S & Co. The Otto features your standards for Trans-Atlantic cargo transportation and that's basically it. A simple, standard, and like I said before, very forgettable...
I FICTIONAL LORE I
Built by Ashley & Co. in 1911, the Otto was a standard cargo steamer at 107 feet long, and had a beam of 21 feet. She started a very uneventful career and maintained that into WW1. The only real event in her career besides her sinking was in 1915 when she accidentally ran down and severely damaged a submarine. However on September 6th 1917 the Otto was attacked by SM U-9 which fired 2 torpedo's at her. The Otto went down in around 5 minutes and took 2 of her 10 crew down with her. (The 2 casualties were lost in the initial 1st explosion.) Thankfully the wireless operator, Henry Stewart, sent out an SOS that was picked up by a nearby submarine USS C-4 who rescued the 8 survivors and recovered the ship's sole lifeboat. The wreck of the Otto was discovered in 1973, lying on her starboard side with her smokestack and deckhousing completely gone but besides that in okay condition.
I HOW TO MOVE I
In the engine room there is a telegraph that powers the ship. The boiler works but it is only for decorational smoke.
I HOW TO SINK I
There's a lockable button in the Captain & First Officer's room.
I MISC I
This ship was inspired by Random Stuff Uploaded's (RSU's) SS Freja
All telegraphs besides the one in the engine room do nothing and are purely decorative.
