Arizona</h2> <p>The ship on which Oscar Wilde first sailed to America was the Guion passenger liner <em>S.S. Arizona</em>.</p> <p>Apart from providing Oscar with his famously <a href="/web/20171016013839/http://www.oscarwildeinamerica.org/quotations/disappointed-in-the-atlantic.html">disappointing experience of the Atlantic</a>, the ship would have little significance in the story of Oscar Wilde, and would normally go unrecognized did it not itself have some noteworthy historical interest.</p> <p><em>Arizona</em> entered service in 1879 working the Liverpool-Queenstown-New York route mainly as an immigrant ship, and soon held prestigious record times for the crossing (picture top).</p> <p><img id="USS-Hancock" src="/web/20171016013839im_/http://www.oscarwildeinamerica.org/Resources/uss-hancock.gif" alt="USS-Hancock" title="">In August of her first year a notorious murder took place on board, and not long afterwards, in November, the ship collided head-on with an iceberg en route from New York to Liverpool. </p> <p>Undaunted by this inauspicious start to her career, Arizona continued to ply her trade until finding fame as the ship that both Oscar Wilde (for his <a href="/web/20171016013839/http://www.oscarwildeinamerica.org/lectures-1882/index.html">1882 Lecture Tour</a>) and famous actress <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171016013839/http://oscarwildeinamerica.org/ss-arizona/#langtry">Lillie Langtry</a> ventured aboard for their inaugural visits to America. </p> <p>Arizona was laid up in Scotland between 1894-97 and rebuilt with one funnel. She was briefly employed in the Pacific before being sold to the War Department and used for Army transport. In 1902, she was acquired by the US Navy for use as a receiving ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and recommissioned as <em>Hancock</em>.

The editor at that time was W.T. Stead, a friend and supporter of Wilde, who was to ultimately lose his life in the <em>Titanic</em> sinking of 1912. It is intriguing to wonder whether Oscar Wilde, had he lived, would have been aboard <em>Titanic</em>? </p> <p>We will never know, of course. One thing we do know is that the ship Wilde sailed on to cross the Atlantic, <em>SS Arizona</em>, had its own <em>Titanic</em> moment 2 years or so before Wilde's crossing in 1882..</p> <p>On November 7, 1879 en route to Liverpool from New York, <em>Arizona</em> hit an iceberg close to the location where Titanic sank. Also, like <em>Titanic</em>, failures in the ship's look-out provisions contributed to the disaster, and the owner of the line was on board (Stephen Guion, with two of his nieces).</p> <p>But unlike Titanic, <em>Arizona</em> collided head-on with the iceberg and all passengers survived. It has been asserted with some certainty that had <em>Titanic</em> hit the iceberg in this way, rather than a glancing blow, she would also have survived.</p> <p><em>Arizona</em>, even with severe damage (picture), remained afloat and was able to proceed to St. John's where she underwent temporary repairs before returning to Scotland. Guion advertised this near disaster as proof of <em>Arizona's</em> strength.</p> <p class="f-lp"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171016013839/http://www.norwayheritage.com/articles/templates/great-disasters.asp?articleid=141&zoneid=1" target="_blank">Full story at Norway Heritage</a>.</p> </article> </section> <section id="wide-section-E" class="f-cf"><article id="ss-arizona-langtry" class="f-cf"><h2 class="bodyupper f-fp"><img id="Lillie-Langtry-1885-Downey" src="/web/20171016013839im_/http://www.oscarwildeinamerica.org/Resources/lillie-langtry-1885-downey.jpeg" alt="Lillie-Langtry-1885-Downey" title="">Lillie langtry arrives in new York<br>greeted by oscar wilde</h2> <p>One the most celebrated personalities of the late Victorian period was British music hall singer and stage actress, Lillie (aka Lily) Langtry. </p> <p>She was famous for her many stage productions <img id="LillieLangtry-Miles" src="/web/20171016013839im_/http://www.oscarwildeinamerica.org/Resources/lillielangtry-miles.jpeg" alt="LillieLangtry-Miles" title="">including <em>She Stoops to Conquer, The Lady of Lyons </em>and <em>As You Like It</em>, and infamous for relationships with members of the nobility.</p> <p>When Mrs. Langtry arrived in New York on October 23rd, 1882, it was also on board the <strong>S.S.
