You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:46, 23 November 2025. Your current IP address is 34.227.224.100.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''RMS ''Carinthia''''' was first laid down in [[Barrow-in-Furness]] in 1924 with the yard number Hull 586. Originally she had the name ''Servia'' but was renamed at the time of her launching on 24 February 1925. She made her maiden voyage on 22 August 1925 from [[Liverpool]] to [[New York City]]. At her launch she was the largest of the five post [[First World War]] intermediate size liners.<ref name="Liners">Famous Liners and their stories By Alan L. Cary. Page 40, published: London . Sampson Low, Marston & Co Ltd.</ref>

==Features==
RMS ''Carinthia'' was noted for her comfortable accommodation in 3rd class. The dining room provided small tables for travelling parties of family and friends, an innovation at the time.<ref name="Liners" /> There was also a smoking room and small library and a shop for the third class passengers needs. The first class restaurant was called the Adams room and had silver lamps on each table. The ship was also well equipped for sport with an arena that covered {{convert|5000|sqft|m2}} over two decks and included a swimming pool, gymnasium, racket courts and shower and bath rooms for massage treatments. On the "A" deck there was the 1st class smoke room which had been modelled after the house of [[El Greco]], the [[Spain|Spanish]] painter, the room also contained an American bar. The first class lounge was furnished and decorated to represent the period of [[William III of England|King William of Orange]].

==Service==
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:RMS Carinthia.JPG|thumb|left|The ''Carinthia'']] -->

The ''Carinthia'' plied  the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] on the Liverpool-[[Boston]]-New York route. She was also used for cruising. In 1931 her passenger accommodation was altered. Instead of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Classes, she now had Cabin Class, Tourist Class and 3rd Class.  During 1933 she made a world cruise calling at 40 ports including [[Tristan da Cunha]], (known as the remotest island on the planet) covering {{convert|40000|mi|km}}. In 1933 RMS ''Carinthia'' received an [[SOS]] from the [[Latvia]]n steamer ''Andromeda'' which had struck an unknown submerged object. The incident had happened eighty miles from [[Ushant]] in the [[English Channel]] but ''Carinthia'' had been too far away to make a rescue and the ship sank. The crew of the steamer were rescued by the steamship ''Hartside''.

In 1934, she was transferred to the [[London]]–[[Le Havre]]–[[Southampton]]–New York route. From 1935 until 1939 she was reverted to New York and used for Winter cruising. As she no longer carried the Royal Mail across the Atlantic, she was re-designated as the SS Carinthia. Her hull was painted white with a green boot-topping for the cruising duties. On 20 September 1938, the Carinthia was on a cruise from New York to the Caribbean, 150 miles north of Florida when she was warned of bad weather ahead, the infamous 1938 hurricane.  She turned to avoid the storm, but the storm also turned and she sailed right into it. Despite category 5 winds and huge seas, she survived the storm with only cosmetic damage and sick passengers.

In August 1939, she was converted into an [[armed merchant cruiser]], retaining the name ''Carinthia''. She was accepted into service on 30 December 1939. At 13.13 hours on 6 June 1940, the ''Carinthia'', on a [[northern patrol]], was [[torpedo]]ed off the coast of [[Ireland]] west of [[Galway Bay]], in coordinates {{coord|53|13|N|10|40|W|name="HMS ''Carinthia'' torpedoed"}} by the {{GS|U-46|1938|6}}. The badly damaged ship remained afloat for 36 hours before she sank during the evening of 7 June. Four people died during the sinking — two crew members and two ratings.

One of the two officers lost was Mr Robert Yeates, from Belfast, who had for many years been chief engineer for the Cunard White Star Line.

==Wreck==
The wreck lies at the position ({{coord|53|13|N|10|40|W}}) at a depth of 384&nbsp;ft - 117m, 30 miles east of Bloody Foreland.
