The Collins Line had 5 proprietary ships in their fleet over the course of their roughly 8 years of operation. These ships were designed by famed Maritime architect George Steers and built in New York City. Some of them had colorful careers, and we explore each one of them in detail in this video, as well as the four known ships the Collins Line chartered.

0:00 - Introduction
2:07 - SS ATLANTIC
7:09 - SS PACIFIC
8:54 - SS ARCTIC
11:01 - SS BALTIC
13:59 - SS ADRIATIC
16:33 - Chartered Ships
17:26 - Conclusion

Of course, the ATLANTIC, BALTIC, and ADRIATIC should not be confused with the later White Star Liners of the same name. Interestingly, the White Star Line also wanted to use the names PACIFIC and ARCTIC, but chose not to due to the disasters associated with those ships.

Special thanks to Liam Sharpe for his excellent work on these animations and Tess and J Kent Layton for their hard work arranging the historical music.
