=== History ===
The Royal Irish Shipping Line (AKA: RISL) is a shipping line founded by NPB1473 in November of 2023. It was founded after he broke away from The Polish Shipping Line. For the beginning, it was The Eire-American Line, with a logo very similar to the current one, but that was changed due to conflict with The Irish American Line. The line currently isn't that big, and hasn't been going well ever since the incident.
=== The Incident ===
During the Maiden Voyage of the SS Emeraldia, a mistake happened with the Btools and an Admin mistake. Not to mention the poorly built ship, the reptution of the line suffered a big hit. This was in December of 2023, and the line will still be able to carry on (Hopefully.)

=== Founding Days (1878-1906) ===
The Royal Irish Shipping Line was founded in 1878 (Then as the Irish Trans-Atlantic Line). The line was created to serve the Trans-Atlantic Immigrant Route, running out of the Kingdom of Ireland to the United States of America. Their first ship was a small paddle steamer, which was used as a ferry from Ireland to France. When going from Ireland, she brought high-classed people for their vacations and other ventures, and when coming from France, she carried immigrants. The line used small mixed cargo-passenger liners in the early days of the line, before they built their first true ocean liner in 1889. The SS Countess Cork was a dual-classed liner, Steerage and Cabin class, making her the first RISL ship to focus on passengers.. She was nicknamed, "The Queen of the Seas." for a time, but it didn't last long, as on her 20th voyage, roughly a year after her maiden voyage, she caught fire and sunk in the North Atlantic. Her sister, Countess Kerry had to take up the Trans-Atlantic job, with the other, older ships of the line. In the late 1890's, the line seemed doomed to fail, until a saving grace came. The line was purchased by the Irish Royal Family. They renamed the line to The Royal Irish Shipping Line, and they were able to get a new ship built, the RMS Cardiff, along with 3 others, and this was able to let it coast into the 1900's, for the Golden Age of Ocean Liners. Also, in 1901, the SS Emeraldia was built, a small ferry boat that took voyages from Dublin to Mainland European Ports, like Cherbourg and Bremen.
=== The Golden Age of Ocean Liners (1907-1957) ===
The line entered the Golden Age with a brand new liner, the RMS Queen of Leinster. She was the biggest Irish-built liner for 21 years. She had 4 decks, and was the first RISL liner to use the Tri-Class Configuration, Cabin Class, Grand Class, and Imperial Class. Steerage was renamed to Cabin Class, to advertize that Steerage passengers now got cabins, and didn't have to sleep in open rooms. Cabin class was renamed to Grand Class, to not cause confusion. And a new class, Imperial Class was created. This was compairable to White Star's 1st class. A few other liners were built, but none of them were as big as the Queen of Leinster.
==== The Great War (1914-1918) ====
In 1914, all of RISL's ships were seized by the Irish Government, even the then newly constructed RMS Queen of Ulster, which became a hospital ship. A few ships were lost during the war, such as the Emeraldia and the Cardiff.
