You may wish to consult Elysium (disambiguation) for other, similarly-named pages.

The Elysium was the first feature exclusively published on the North West Historical Society website on 27 April 2011 by the BBC and Punchdrunk to coincide with the immersive experience The Crash of the Elysium. It formed the beginning of a range of fiction published on tie-in websites as part of the viral marketing for the experience, by giving a faux-historical gallery of photographs of the titular Elysium, a steamer sunk in 1888 under mysterious circumstances.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

The North West Historical Society releases photographs of the Elysium on their website.

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The text on the third image reveals that the Elysium was photographed with her sister ship Erebus by the Manchester Ship Canal Co..
  • The text on the fifth image explains that the Elysium was photographed unloading her cargo at the Salford Quays.
  • The text on the seventh image simply states that the photograph was taken at the ship's christening.
  • One of the images is of a tobacco pot.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Some of the images weren't given captions and so the placeholder text is visible.
  • The third image's caption refers to the ship as "The Elysuim", rather than "The Elysium".

Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The steamer Elysium and its crash plays pivotal role in the marketing and tie-in stories for STAGE: The Crash of the Elysium, however ironically, doesn't play a large role in the immersive experience itself as another Elysium, a spaceship, took narrative precedence.
