The Sinking of the A.M.S. Cardannic

The A.M.S. Cardannic was a passenger mail liner that the Quartz Shipline and Building Company created to increase the naval luxuries that many ships of the time lacked. It was 822 feet long and 290 feet tall from keel to the front and rear posts. It sank at 5:45 a.m on May 6th, 1932.

The Cardannic was designed starting in January of 1930 when Westley Johns, the CEO of Quartz Shipline, declared that the money they were receiving was getting low, because the Minimum wages didn't start until the 1940s.
