Description[]
The S.S. Lazarus was a luxury cruise ship captained by a man named Admiral Robertson. The ship was hired to ferry the 1989 graduating class of Lakeview High School on a celebratory trip. The ship left Crystal Lake Township, but was unfortunately targeted by an unlikely stowaway - the unkillable mass murderer known as Jason Voorhees.
Jason Voorhees hacked and slashed his way through cruise guests and crew members alike using a wide array of weapons, including a Flying V electric guitar. The ship managed to drift into a harbor in New York City, whereupon the surviving guests managed to get off. Voorhees followed them off the boat however, eager to up his ever-growing body count.
