The Atlantus is a concrete ship built by the Liberty Ship Building Company in Brunswick, Georgia on December 5, 1918. when she got built the war had already ended. in 1919 she would have had her sea trials, she was out of service in 1920 and retired to a salvage yard in Virginia. on June 8, 1926, she would wreck off the coast of New Jersey 150 feet off Sunset Beach. She ran aground after a storm and moorings had snapped. Despite the material of the Atlantus not being actual concrete like her real-life counterpart, she was very heavy, so I changed the material to iron and steel so as not to have her sink to the bottom like a rock when she wasn't even filled with water, I also tried to make her as accurate as I could to what she looked like in a picture of her, along with a postcard c. 1940.
