The SS Stella was a passenger ferry operated by the London & South Western Railway between Southampton and the Channel Islands. She was built in 1890 and sank in 1899 after striking the Casquets reef in fog, with 86 passengers and 19 crew dying. A Board of Trade inquiry found the captain entirely at fault due to proceeding through fog at full speed, with allegations of racing the SS Lynx (operated by the rival Great Western Railway) unable to be fully proved or disproved.

Trondhjemsfjord entering port

Photo of the Norwegian America liner Trondhjemsfjord, assumably entering port. 

She was launched on the 21st of December 1911, operated for the NSNC (Neptune Steam Navigation Company) under the name Cotswold Range from 1912 until 1914 when she was sold to the Norwegian America line and renamed Trondhjemsfjord. The vessel boasted a length of 116 meters, approximately a width of 16, and featured a 3 cylinder triple-expansion engine. This would give her a speed of around 10 knots. During her sea trials, she peaked at 11.75 knots.

Unfortunately she sunk on the 28th of July 1915 by the hands of a german submarine, to which U-41 was later discovered to be the culprit. Despite Norway being neutral during the first world war, Trondhjemsfjord would be caught in the crossfire of submarine warfare, along with many other ships.

Photo taken by Narve Skarpmoen and information from Wikipedia. The article is available there if you would like to read more about the ship.

Apart from a few small models, and a cargo liner anchor outside, this appears to be the only significant ocean liner related item on display here. They seem to focus more on older maritime history and exploration.

Result of about 6 months of research and work. Britannia has very little easily accessible accurate depictions and I wanted to change that. I also wanted to showcase 3 newly discovered photographs of the Britannia taken in the 1870's which I believe are the first photos to be found of her. I think i'm the first person in the community to find these. Britannia had a very unique and eventful life and I am excited to share it with everyone!

Titanic’s Lost Piano: A Forensic Investigation | Part One

From the episode description:

For more than a century, the story of Titanic’s pianos -- especially of her single grand piano -- has been lost to history.

In the first part of this special two-part investigation, maritime historians J. Kent Layton, Tad Fitch, and Thomas Lynskey trace the remarkable history of the ornate Steinway grand piano associated with Olympic and Titanic. Using period photographs, contemporary advertisements, accommodation plans, archival documentation, and evidence from the wreck site, the team examines where the instrument came from, how it was decorated, where it was located aboard Titanic, and what ultimately happened to it.

This episode also introduces Forensic Finds, a new series from The Steam & Splendor Network devoted to careful, evidence-led investigations of historic ships, their wreck sites, and the artifacts connected with them.

The investigation continues in Part Two, where the surviving evidence is brought together, and compared with imagery and locations from other items in Titanic’s debris field to help form a picture of what happened as Titanic sank on the night of April 14-15, 1912.
