[Finance Tech Future]( Innocent Americans Targeted By "Biden's Bank Blackouts" One day, Bill got 6 certified letters in the mail⦠The SS Ceylon was the first vessel repurposed to be a cruise ship. It was owned by the London-based ship brokerage Culliford & Clarke, which hoped to make cruising the centre of its business. The Ceylon was a single-screw, iron-hulled auxiliary steamerâmeaning that it had both a steam engine and sailsâand could hold up to 100 passengers. Its renovation had removed several dozen passenger cabins and replaced them with public spaces, including a dining room, a boudoir, a smoking room, and a steam-powered fairground organ. After its refit, the Ceylon offered the first around-the-world cruise in history. It departed from Liverpool in 1881 for its 10-month journey. However, it had difficulty attracting a full complement of guests, and the company failed to recover from the expense. In 1885 Culliford & Clarke went into liquidation. Nonetheless, the idea of cruising had begun to catch on. The charter for the Ceylon was soon sold to the British Regent Street Polytechnic school, which added more berths and began offering affordable and educational leisure cruises to its mainly working-class students. Other organizations and naval companies began to offer cruises, using older ocean liners or ships that were not needed for other business.The first cruise ship built solely for the purpose of leisure was produced by Albert Ballin of the German Hamburg-America Line company. Ballin spearheaded the development of the shipping companyâs cruise offerings, culminating in the construction of the cruise ship Prinzessin Victoria Luise. She was a 407-foot (124-metre), 4,419-ton vessel with twin-screw engines. Ballinâs target market was people who were rich but not rich enough to own their own leisure yachts. The ship thus had 120 exclusively first-class cabins. It also had a gymnasium, a library, an art gallery, a ballroom, and a darkroom. The Victoria Luise was launched on June 29, 1900, and operated until December 1906, when it wrecked near Jamaica. Though all passengers survived, the ship was unsalvageable. Popularity in leisure cruising declined after the grounding of the Victoria Luise, the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, and the outbreak of World War I (1914â18), which saw the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915.As countries began to recover from World War I, cruising slowly began to increase in popularity. In the United States, Prohibition (1920â33) drove the rise of affordable cruises. U.S. anti-alcohol law applied only as far as 3 nautical miles (5.6 km) from shore, and many shipping and ocean liner companies began to offer cruises outside this range. Some were simple âbooze cruises,â in which the ships traveled 3.1 nautical miles (5.7 km) out to sea and then essentially floated around for a few days. Others were trips to islands in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, catering to passengers interested in a holiday that would include alcohol. The Great Depression and the repeal of Prohibition gradually ended booze cruises, although some leisure cruises remained.The mid-century rise of cheap commercial flights across the Atlantic forced many naval companies to reorient toward cruising. Ocean liners, once essential to mass transportation, were largely repurposed as cruise ships. As older companies turned to cruising, many new companies exclusively focused on cruises were founded in the 1960s and â70s. These included Princess Cruises in 1965, Norwegian Cruise Line in 1966, Royal Caribbean Cruises in 1968, MSC in 1970, and Carnival Cruise Lines in 1972. These companies offered prices that were increasingly affordable for middle-class consumers, driving the industry to expand and more purpose-built cruise ships to be commissioned. The television show The Love Boat, which took place aboard a ship called the MS Pacific Princess, is generally credited for the explosion of the cruising industry in the 1980s. In 1987 Royal Caribbean launched the worldâs first megaship, MS Sovereign of the Seas. It could hold almost 3,000 passengers and became the model for all modern cruise ships as floating resorts. The Sovereign had five restaurants, nine bars, a spa, four pools, and a casino.
