On June 15, 2001 Disney released Atlantis: The Lost Empire. It was the first tradionally drawn Disney animated feature to recieve a PG rating since The Black Cauldron (1985). Marc Okrand developed a language specifically for this film. The film takes place in 1914, involving academic Milo Thatch (Michael J Fox) and a group of mercenaries (voiced by Jim Varney, Corey Burton, Claudia Christian, James Garner, Jaqueline Obradors, Don Novello, and Phil Morris) sent in search of the lost city of Atlantis. When they actually find the futuristic place, they meet the king (Leonard Nimoy) and his daughter Kida (Cree Summer). ("Atlantis: The Lost Empire", Animated Flm, Event)

Artwork of RMS Germanic II (1916), the some-what intended replacement for RMS Titanic. She was ordered by White Star Line in 1913 and her keep was to be laid down at the end of June 1914. Her Harland & Wolff hull number was #470 (later used for the SS Laurentic (1927)). Her construction was put on hold once WWI started and eventually removed from the book in 1919.

"Your Directors have authorized the construction of a steamer of about 33,600 tons and 19 knots speed for the New York-Liverpool service of the White Star Line, to be named 'Germanic,' and to be of the 'Adriatic' type, with such alterations and improvements as experience has suggested and as are made possible by her greater size. It is expected that the 'Germanic' will be completed in time to enter the service in 1916, and that she will be an exceedingly attractive steamer."

"We are building a new ship for the Liverpool-New York service, which is to be called the Germanic, and it will be a larger ship than the Adriatic but would be smaller than Olympic. He indicated that the her length overall would be about 746 feet. The length between perpendiculars, 720 feet, matches Sanderson's description for a ship that was slightly longer overall; she was to be 88 feet in breadth and her propelling machinery would consist of reciprocating engines driving a central propeller."

She was renamed RMS Homeric after WWI started and was later cancelled due to the war. Her role was eventually filled when Columbus, a liner of the North German Lloyd shipping Company, was ceded by Germany to England and then sold to White Star line, which renamed to RMS Homeric.

Not much is know about this ship. It is possible her materials were used for Laurentic, which was completed in 1927 and her hull number (470) is too low for that time period (SS Doric, completed in 1923 and has the hull number of 573).

Mirrorverse - Remainder

So what is left?

One long fic - Or the One, which will cover Rudolf’s POV through June of 1914. I won’t have an exact chapter count until I have this one completely outlined.

Additionally, the following addendums are planned:

Dr. Zeeburger

Elisabeth (Part 2)

George V

As of now, the plan is to do 1/3 of Or the One, then George V’s addendum, another 1/3 of Or the One, then Dr. Zeeburger’s addendum, then all but the last chapter of Or the One, then Elisabeth’s second addendum, then the last chapter of Or the One, which will finish the series.

If more addendums that need to happen come up then I may reshuffle this, but there is only one more character that I could see getting one.

#mirrorverse #is the fact that Rudolf's POV is through June of 1914 a spoiler #well maybe #depends on how well you know historical dates #also if Fitz or anyone else wants to work anything else in I'm all ears

BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT, I'm back with more Sad Boat Books for Sad Boat People! But first, some words.

I never dreamed that a silly little graphic I made for some friends would generate this much response on twitter and here, but I'm overjoyed that it resonated with so many of you! I read every single comment and tag, and by far my favorites are all of the people who say some variation of "I thought I was the only one who loved these books." We are NOT alone, there are literally thousands of people who reblogged or retweeted this list-- people of all ages and backgrounds and gender identities. Sad Boat isn't just for old white men! I was also delighted to hear from other librarians who are using this in displays and for reader's advisory. PLEASE go forth and do so with my blessing, nothing would make me happier! I was recently laid off from my librarian job as part of a restructuring under new management (don't worry about me, it sucks right now but I'm gonna be fine), so I would love to think that I'm still contributing to the library ecosystem while I'm out of commission. I would also love to keep making these lists (including one that deals with Sad Boat fiction and one with recommendations for other types of media), and I've never had more time to do it, so if you have suggestions, please drop them in my inbox!

Anyway, enough of that-- here are more books! I've either read all of these, or the recommendation came from someone I trust, so read with confidence!

Crew of USS TEXAS (BB-35) conducting familiarization training with their new ship near Lobos Island, Gulf of Mexico.

Date: June 2-July 7, 1914

"Now we were alone in the world. Except for an occasional ship on the horizon and for the tender which brought us mail and fresh provisions once a week, we'd see nothing but sea and sky and our small domain for days to come. For our purposes it was ideal; we forgot all about Vera Cruz, forgot everything but the TEXAS.

In the flat water of the Gulf, we got up anchor each early morning and went out to learn her ways. How long would it take to bring her dead in the water from full speed ahead? What was her turning circle? Had her engines any kinks, and her gear any weak spots? Was she good at casting on her heel? Could she dodge a torpedo? How long after the rudder was put over did she pick up her swing? At five knots, at ten knots, at fifteen knots, at twenty knots? Did she gain speed well?

And we had the fourteen-inch guns to work at. The shell weighed three quarters of a ton; there was electric hoisting gear for handling them. The powder charges weighed four hundred pounds, and came up from the magazines by power hoist and hand. What was the fastest, smoothest way to load the guns?

We put seventy men to a turret's crew, to be welded into a clean machine. Some of them went down into the deep magazines, to bully projectiles from their racks with chain purchases, or to pass powder through flaps in the bulkheads. Others we placed at stages on the way up, in the upper handling room, the upper powder room, the ready service, others back of the guns in the loading crews-rammermen, powder men, plugmen, shellmen, gun captains, hoistmen.

Heavy work for all, and they had to be synchronized into swift, coordinated teams.

'Try it again, lads. This time, Riley, stand with your feet a little closer to the tray. When you lift that bag of powder, get under it with the muscles of your back and thighs. It wants to come up faster. Savvy?'

'Le's go, sailors. Come on, now-ready on the plug.'

'Stand by....Load!'

Grunting, hurrying, they strained in movement; awkwardness merged into grace. They used dummy 'powder' charges made of wood.

Under the guns the pointers looked through their telescopic sights and turned the handwheels of the pointing gear; the white lighthouse made a good target.

'Don't spin the wheel so fast,' coached the officer. 'Come up to the point of aim. Slowly, now. Now stick with it. That's the stuff. Mark, mark, mark, mark--right on. Mark, mark... Stand by... fire! A little off that time; try it again. Mark! Mark, mark... mark... mark, mark, mark...stand by ... fire! That would have been a good hit." The loading crews cut down their time to fifteen seconds, and below that.

Our routine was tight and regular as the clock. It shook the looseness out of her. Sailors, lax from long time in port, stiffened to the discipline of a hard, taut, crew."

Passage from "Come On TEXAS" by Paul Schubert.
