Red & Blue S.S. Anne
A cruise liner docked at Vermilion Harbor, where you battle your rival and win HM01 Cut from the ship's seasick Captain.
S.S. Anne is in Kanto. In the story you arrive from Vermilion City through its entrance and it comes before Vermilion Gym.
S.S. ANNE MAP
Numbered cabins line several decks, with a kitchen below and the captain's quarters at the top. The ship sails the moment you step back onto the dock, so there's no return trip.

S.S. Anne Guide
No. The moment you take HM01 Cut from the Captain and step off, the ship sails for good. Sweep the cabins for items and fight every trainer first, because none of it comes back once it departs.
You need the S.S. Anne Ticket, given by Bill at his cottage on Route 25 after you sort out his teleporter mishap. Show it at the Vermilion dock to get aboard. The visit isn't optional either, since HM01 Cut from the ship's Captain is what gets you into Vermilion's Gym afterward.
