The Crash of '47 is the first studio album released by the American alternative metal band Atomship.

The song "Time for People" was released on the Wind-Up soundtrack for the movie The Punisher.

Atomship started out as Watership Down, containing Nathan Slade and Chad Kent, both of whom played on The Crash of '47, and Derek Pardoe, who only wrote songs for the album.

After the name change to Atomship, Joey Culver subbed as the lead vocalist, while Pardoe had personal troubles while he dealt with anxiety problems and as a result was unable to participate.

All tracks are written by Chad Kent, Derek Pardoe and Nathan Slade, except where noted.
