Here is a picture

Don't worry! She's not breaking up. She was built to do that!

it was decided that she was bad in the ocean, so the Connector was scrapped..right after her Sea Trials

Happy to share, Bo!
Unfortunately there is little info on her. I was told about this ship, so I have no idea either. The only link I was able to find on Google was this

SS Connector

I have searched high and low (pardon the pun) for this ship, in the virtual world it does not seem to exist. I wonder if it ever really existed at all. THE FAMILY OF THE PAINTER Melissent, from Le Havre has recently found, in her papers, the enclosed drawing which we find intriguing. ss...
