History:

The S.S Prince Harry was a steamship build for island cargo transport and passengers. The Royal Line ordered the ship in 1899, made changes to the steamer, holding construction for 3 years, building starting in 1901. The ship was christened and launched in 1907. However, during launch, open portholes flooded the ship, and it sunk on its side, resting on a shallow seabed. It was salvaged, re-modernized, taking a total of 6 painful years to fix and modernize. It was relaunched in 1913, and was ready for passengers in June of 1914. However, the next month, she was drafted by the Royal Navy as H.M.H.S Prince Harry. In her 3 years of service, she hit 2 mines and a submarine, got hit by 5 torpedoes and a corvette, and suffered from heavy gunfire, but she lived through until 1917, when she was considered to costly to lose, and was layed up for the rest of the war. After the war she didn't look as great compared to the Homeric and Majestic, and was getting more costly to maintain. On December 1st, 1923, a small fire broke out in the boiler room, causing damage to the hull, which sealed her fate. On December 24th, 1923, while on her 2nd to last voyage, a piece of metal from the hull, rusted away, and the ship sank, taking 68 of the 683 souls on board.
