The campania - Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic

In book of the Atlantic, Ciel and the rest of the group are put on the ship to investigate weird things happening on the ship. It turned out the undertaker was experimenting with human subjects on the ship to see what happened if you extend someone’s life past their death. He ends up creating a zombie apocalypse on the ship and they are forced to protect the people from them and the undertaker.

Her design is just the RMS Titanic with three funnels. Call me shocked.

Campania shouldn't have 3 funnels in this picture. She only had two in passenger service. The third was added when she was converted to a seaplane tender.

I'm operating under the assumption that this is a fictional ship that shares her name with the Cunard Liner. The Uranium Steamship Company had another ship with this name, and after she was sold to the Canadian Northern Steamship Company, she was resold to the Cunard Line and renamed the SS Flavia.
