Talk:RMS Andania (1913)

How much of this can I use?
From Cunard "On 14 July 1913 it left Liverpool on its maiden voyage calling at Southampton, Quebec and Montreal. Guests on board included representatives from the Canadian Government. The ships second voyage sailed from London. The approach channels to the Thames were dredged for this occasion. In August 1914 the Andania was requisitioned as a troopship and made several trips carrying Canadian troops.

For a few weeks in 1915 the Andania was used to accommodate German POW's in the Thames. Later that year it was used to support the Gallipoli campaign and was involved in the transporting troops for the Sulva landings. In 1916 it returned to help transport more Canadian troops. Later that year and, during 1917, the Andania was used on the Liverpool to New York route.

On 26 January 1918 the Andania left Liverpool for New York. The route the ship was taking was around the Northern coast of Ireland. There were only 40 passengers on board, along with a crew of around 200. On the morning of the 28th the ship was hit by a torpedo from Germnan submarine U.46. This occurred near Rathlin Light. The ship immediately took a list to starboard and began to sink. Most of those on board were saved but seven lives were lost." ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I think the speed is already there, althought I don't know what 2Q is. I usually do at least 4 or 5Q in my Honda. ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
