TITANIC - A Voyage of Discovery (allships)

All White Star Line Ships

The White Star Line existed from 1845 to 1936 at which time it was financially forced to merge with the Cunard Steamship Company, the White Star Line's number one competitive rival throughout the years. This newly merged line was appropriately named the Cunard - White Star Steamship Company and flew double house flags on its ships.

The Cunard Steamship Company eventually liquidated the White Star Line's assets and holdings in 1957 and dropped the White Star Line's name returning to the original name: Cunard Steamship Company Inc.

The White Star Line comprised over 120 ships in its fleet over the lifespan of the company. Not all of these ships were built by Harland and Wolff Shipbuilding, and not all of them were owned by the White Star Line. Several ships were purchased by the White Star Line from the British Government having been acquired through war reparations. As well, a few were only leased and managed by the White Star Line.

Only one ship, a passenger tender named 'Nomadic' still exists today. It is privately owned and undergoing restoration. The last original White Star Line ship in service was the 3rd 'Britannic' which was scrapped in 1961.

Below you'll find a listing of all White Star Line ships with (where available) details of their final demise.

Note:
To avoid confusion, it's important to realize that the White Star Line had several ships named the same name as predecessors (i.e. 3 Baltic's, 3 Britannic's, 2 Cedric's etc.).

1845
RED JACKET
One of the original White Star Line clipper ships with a composite hull.
1845
ELLEN
Also one of the original White Star Line clipper ships with a composite hull.
1845
RED JACKET
Also one of the original White Star Line clipper ships with a composite hull. She was later renamed 'White Star'.
1863
ROYAL STANDARD
The first steam driven White Star Line vessel (prior to Thomas Ismay's purchase of the White Star Line). Combination of sail and steam (similar to the original 'Germanic'). She was a 2,000 ton single screw vessel. On its maiden voyage from Liverpool to Melbourne, Austrialia, the ship's captain died during the voyage. In April of 1864, the 'Royal Standard' struck an iceberg but managed to limp into Rio de Janiero for repairs. Underpowered by a simple 2 cylinder steam engine, the ship was taken out of service. It was easily overtaken by clipper ships. In 1867, it was sold to a company in Liverpool where it was converted to a sailing vessel. In 1869, The 'Royal Standard' wrecked near the coast of Brazil and was scrapped where it lay.
1865
ROYAL SIRIUS
She had to be sold before it even began service, due to financial problems with the White Star Line in these early years. .
1871
OCEANIC
The first White Star Line ship under the Ismay ownership. Often refered to as "The Mother of Modern Liners". She was the first ship to have promenade decks and running water with bathubs for it's passengers. Eventually scrapped in 1896. .
1871
ATLANTIC
Stranded in a gale enroute to New York from Liverpool, 'Atlantic's' captain, fearing a shortage of fuel on board, headed for Halifax (only 127 tons of coal remaining). Upon doing so, the 'Atlantic' ran aground after striking Meaghers/Golden Rule Rock on April 4th, 1873. The heavy seas ripped the ship's lifeboats off and split her hull open. In desperation, crew members swam ashore with a line and ferried remaining passengers ashore. Survivors were picked up the next day and taken to Halifax aboard the steamers 'Delta' and 'Lady Head'. A total of 585 passengers lost their lives. Not a single woman survived and only one child was rescued. A Board of Trade Commission found Captain Williams negligent for taking his ship into water not familiar to him. He was banned from mastering a vessel for two years.
1871
PACIFIC .
1871
BALTIC
One of the original "Big Four" class ('Celtic', 'Celtic II', 'Baltic II' and 'Cedric'). Eventually sold to the Holland-America Line in 1889. Renamed 'Veendam'. On February 6th, 1898 she collided with a derelict and sunk. No fatalities.
1871
ASIATIC
Built as a cargo vessel by British shipbuilders Thomas Royden and Sons. Purchased by the White Star Line in 1871. Assigned to the Calcutta trade, then South Africa (both proved unsucessful). After the loss of the 'Atlantic', the 'Asiatic' was sold to recoup capital. Purchased by the African Steamship Co. and renamed 'Ambriz'. She was sold again in 1873 to a French company and converted to a coal depot ship. Wrecked off of the Madagascar coast in 1903. No fatalities.
1871

COPTIC
Originally built as a passenger ship for the Liverpool - New York route. The 'Coptic' only made two Atlantic crossings and was transferred to the Pacific where she had a refrigeration plant added. She worked the New Zealand area until she ran aground in Rio de Janiero in 1889. After repairs, the 'Coptic' worked the San Francisco - Hong Kong route, at which time she was purchased by the Pacific Mail Steamship Line in 1911 and renamed 'Persia'. Purchased again by Toyo Kisen Kaisha (Tokyo) and renamed 'Persia-Maru'. She was eventually scrapped in 1925.

All 40 of the crew were lost.
1889
RUNIC
Built for the White Star Line as a livestock carrier, serving the Liverpool to New York route. Sold in 1895 to the West India & Pacific Steamship Co. and was renamed 'Tampican'. In 1899 she was transferred to the Leyland Line. In 1912, sold to Moss & Co., and immediately sold again to the South Pacific Whaling Co. and renamed 'Imo'. It was then used as a whale oil tanker. In 1917, she collided with the French munition ship 'Mont Blanc', in Halifax. Twenty minutes later the 'Mont Blanc' exploded and leveled the town of Richmond. 1,700 people were killed and 8,000 were injured. The 'Mont Blanc' was completely destroyed, but the 'Imo' somehow survived with minimal damage. In 1918 the 'Imo' was renamed 'Guvernoren'. In 1920 she ran aground at the Falkland Islands in a heavy fog and was a complete loss.
1889
TEUTONIC
Sister ship of the 'Majestic'. Both keels were laid in 1887. The 'Teutonic' was built under the Auxiliary Armed Cruiser Agreement, with intentions of eventual conversion to passenger service. An extremely fast ship, it was the first armed merchant cruiser and was armed with eight 4.7" guns. The 'Teutonic' was used as a troop transport ship during the Boer War in 1900. In 1901 she was hit by a tidal wave ("Tsunami") caused by an earthquake, and two lookouts were washed out of the crowsnest. After a 1916 refit with 6" guns, the 'Teutonic' participated in several convoy escorts. Never seeing her intended commercial passenger service, she was further used for troop transport in 1918 and eventually sold and scrapped in 1921 at Emden. .
1890
MAJESTIC
Badly damaged by fire in Liverpool in 1905, she was refurbished and put back into service in 1912 as a mail steamer after the loss of the Titanic. She was scrapped in 1912.
1891
NOMADIC
1891
TAURIC
Built strictly as a livestock carrier. Served the Liverpool - Portland route. Transferred to the Dominion Line in 1903 and was renamed 'Welshman' in 1904. Transferred again to the Leyland Line in 1921. Scrapped in 1929.
1891
MAGENTIC
1892
NARONIC
The "Great Mystery Ship".!.!.! Built and launched at the same time as her sister ship, the 'Bovic'. Like the 'Bovic', the 'Naronic' was built for the White Star Line as a refrigerated cargo ship but was later converted to carry passengers as well. 'Naronic's' 7th voyage (February 11th, 1893) inbound to New York with 74 passengers would be her last. After departing Liverpool, she was never heard from or seen again. Almost a month later, the steamer 'Coventry' enroute to England from Newport News, Va., spotted one of 'Naronic's' lifeboats floating upside down in the water, 500 hundred miles off the coast of Halifax. The next day another boat was spotted. Later that month, a total of 4 bottles with messages in them stating that they were written by 'Naronic' passengers, began to wash up on the shores of New York and Virginia. Two of the messages stated that the 'Naronic' had struck an iceberg. A court of inquiry recorded that it doubted this was true, because there was no ice spotted anywhere in the vacinity. It's unknown as to why this court would doubt these messages. It's unknown why anyone would write these messgages if untrue. It's interesting to note that the location of the 'Naronic' lifeboats was only 90 miles from where the Titanic struck an iceberg; also an area thought to be a very unlikely location for icebergs.
1892
BOVIC
She was launched together with her sister ship 'Narovic' in 1892. Originally designed as a livestock carrier, she was converted to a passenger ship. Transferred to the Leyland Line in 1921, scrapped for salvage in Rotterdam in 1928.
1893
GOTHIC
1894
PONTIC
1894
CEVIC
Built as a livestock carrier, she worked the Liverpool - New York route. Requisitioned by the British Admiralty in 1914, she was converted into a dummy battleship, renamed HMS 'Queen Mary', and sent out on patrol to fool the Germans into thinking a battleship was in the area for protection of supply ships. The trick worked and her disguise was never discovered. In 1916 she was renamed 'Bayol' and converted into an oil tanker. In 1917 she fell under new management and renamed 'Bayleaf'. In 1920 it was sold to the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company and renamed 'Pyrula'. She was later scrapped in 1933 in Genoa.
1895
GEORGIC
1897
DELPHIC
1898
ROMANIC

She then began to serve the Boston - Naples - Genoa route. Sold to the Allan Line in 1912 and renamed 'Scandinavian'. Served in WWI as a troop transport ship until 1919. She was sold and scrapped in 1920.
1898
CYMRIC
Built as a larger version of the 'Georgic'. Also referred to as "The last of the Cattle Boats", the 'Cymric' proved to be a very profitable passenger liner, omitting the originally alotted livestock space and adding extra Third-Class space for the immigrant trade. The 'Cymric' was requisitioned by the British government in 1900 to be used as a troop transport ship during the Boer War. Returned to passenger service in 1903, her last voyage would be on April 29th, 1916. On May 8th, 1916 after departing New York for Liverpool, the 'Cymric' was 140 miles from Fastnet when she was attacked by the German submarine 'U-20', the same submarine that sank the 'Lusitania' on May 7th, 1915. She was torpodeoed 3 times killling 5 crew members. The 'Cymric' sank during the early morning hours of May 9th, 1912.
1899
AFRIC
1899
MEDIC
Built as a refrigerated cargo ship. Ran the Australian route. Later used to carry Australian troops and their horses to the Boer War. After the Boer War it was converted for passenger service. It was sold in 1928, fitted as a whaling ship and renamed 'Hecktoria'. In 1932 it was transfered to the British flag for war duty (WWII). After undergoing a conversion to an oil tanker for refueling warships, she was torpedoed and sunk by the German U-Boat 'U-608' in during WWII in 1942 in the North Atlantic.
1899
PERSIC
Built for the White Star Line as a cargo vessel for the Liverpool - Sydney route. On October 26th, 1899 she made a daring rescue of the crew of the schooner 'Madura' which had caught fire. The 'Persic' was requisitioned as a troop transport ship during WWI. She was torpedoed by the German submarine 'U-87' in 1918 off of the coast of Sicily but she somehow managed to limp into port under her own steam. In 1920 she was refitted to accomodate passengers. She ran for another 7 years until she was scrapped in 1927.
1899
OCEANIC (2nd)
The only White Star Line ship built exclusively for speed. Later commissioned as an armed merchant cruiser owed to her swiftness in the water. Due to poor navigation, she was beached in the Shetlands. She remained there for 18 years and was finally scrapped in 1921.
1901
RUNIC (2nd)
A White Star liner built to serve the Liverpool - Sydney route. Sold in 1930 to the Sevilla Whaling Company. Converted to a whaling ship and renamed 'New Sevilla'. Travelling from Liverpool to Antartica during WWII, on October 20th, 1940, she was torpedoed by the German U-boat 'U-138' off of the Irish coast and sunk. Two people were killed.
1901
SUEVIC
1901
CELTIC
One of the original "Big Four" class ('Celtic', 'Celtic II', 'Baltic II' and 'Cedric'). Later served as a WWI troop transport ship and ran aground near Cobh, Ireland. Unsuccessful salvage attempts were made in 1933, and she was broken apart where she lay for scrap.
1902
ATHENIC
Built as a dual purpose cargo - passenger ship for the New Zealand trade. Served during WWI as a troop transport ship. In 1928 she was sold to a Norwegian firm and converted into a whaling ship and renamed 'Pelagos'. In 1941 she was captured by the German raider 'Penguin' in Antarctica. The Germans converted it into an oil tanker to refuel German U-Boats. In 1942 a British submarine attacked and sank it. In 1945 the Norwegians raised and refitted it as a passenger ship where it served until 1962 when it was scrapped.
1902
CORINTHIC
Built as dual purpose refrigerated cargo - passenger ship to serve the New Zealand trade. Launched at the same time as her sister ships 'Ionic II' and 'Athenic'. Sold and scrapped in 1931. .
1903
CEDRIC
One of the original "Big Four" class ('Celtic', 'Celtic II', 'Baltic II' and 'Cedric'). She was the ship that J. Bruce Ismay - managing director of the White Star Line - wanted held over in New York to transport the surviving Titanic crew members back to the U.K. on. The 'Cedric' sailed however without them due to their mandated appearances for testimony at the U.S. Inquiry. The 'Cedric' later served as a WWI troop transport ship and was scrapped in 1931.
1903
CRETIC
1903
REPUBLIC (2nd)
Quite possibly the only true White Star Line's "Treasure Ship". The 'Republic' was originally built for the International Mercantile Marine Company's Dominion Line and named 'Columbus'. After only two voyages she was sold to the White Star Line and renamed 'Republic'. On January 23rd, 1909 she left New York bound for Naples, Italy. While passing Nantucket in a dense fog, she was suddenly rammed ironically by the Italian liner 'Florida'. She was struck amidships on the port side and the engine room was flooded immediately.
Fitted with an early version of the 1.5 watt Marconi wireless radio the 'Republic' became the first vessel in maritime history to use the new SOS distress call. One of her White Star Line sister ship's, the 'Baltic', acknowledged the call and came to assist. An U.S. Coast Guard Cutter in the vicinity also responded. The Coast Guard crew boarded the 'Republic' and tried to slow her flooding with collision mats. A daring "at sea" passenger transfer took place and 1,600 passengers were dispersed between the cutter and the 'Baltic'. Only 4 lives were lost. The next morning the 'Republic' sank becoming the largest liner to-date to be lost at sea. The White Star Line received compensation after suing the Lloyd Italiano Line and winning a negligence suit.
It's been rumored that the 'Republic' was carrying a $265,000 U.S. Navy payroll that was intended to be delivered to the U.S. Navy Atlantic Fleet in Gibraltar. A sum that would be worth close to $6 million today. Another rumor regarding the 'Republic's' cargo is that she was carrying a secret (politically sensitive) shipment of newly minted American Gold Eagle coins that could have a present value of between $400 million and $1.6 billion depending on their present condition state. The wreck site was discovered in 1981. As far as is known, nothing has been recovered to-date.
1903
ROMANIC
1903
RUSSIAN
Spent most of its career serving the White Star Line but was not owned by the White Star Line, only managed. Originally built for the Leyland line (a subsidiary of the International Mercantile Marine Company) and later transferred by IMM to the White Star Line for livestock and cargo service with minimal passenger service. Originally named 'Victorian', the British Admiralty required that the ship's name be changed during WWI to avoid confusion with the Allen Liner 'Victorian' also being utilized in war service. In December of 1916 the 'Russian' was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine 'U-43', 210 miles east of Malta, en route from Salonika to Newport. Twenty eight lives were lost.
1903
CANOPIC
1903
IONIC (2nd)
Built for the New Zealand trade as a refrigerated meat supply ship and a passenger liner. Requisitioned at the outbreak of WWI to serve as a troop transport ship for the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces. On New Years eve 1915, a German U-Boat surfaced and took a shot at the 'Ionic' that missed the ship by just a few feet and she was able to escape from the submarine. After the Cunard - White Star Line merger in 1936 it was decided that the 'Ionic' was no longer needed due to it's speed and age. It was sold to Japan and scrapped in 1922. The ship's bell today is displayed in the Auckland War Memorial Musuem in New Zealand.

1909
MEGANTIC
Served on the Canadian route and was named after Lake Megantic in the Quebec province. Used as a troop transport ship in WWI. The 'Megantic' was attacked in 1917 by the German submarine 'U-43' but managed to escape unharmed. After WWI she returned to passenger service on the Liverpool - Montreal route. She underwent two major refits to enlarge it's First-Class accommodations in 1919 and 1924. She was eventually sold and scrapped in 1933.
1911
BELGIC (3rd)
1911
OLYMPIC
Sister ship to the Titanic. She served on the U.K. - U.S route. Converted to a troop transport ship during WWI. On May 12th, 1918 she was attacked by the German submarine 'U-103' off the coast of France. The 'Olympic' managed to turn around to ram and sink the submarine. After the war she was the first ship to undergo an oil-fired conversion and sailed under the new Cunard - White Star Line flag. On May 16th, 1934 she collided with the Nantucket Lightship, sinking it and killing 7 people. Never refurbished after the collision, she was sold and scrapped in 1935.
1911
NOMADIC
Built by Harland and Wolff Shipbuilding for the White Star Line as a tender (transports to shuttle passengers and baggage from the dock to the ship). These tenders were used at ports whose harbors were not deep enough to allow the large liners to moore in at the dockside. The 'Nomadic' was 220 feet long and could carry 1,000 passengers. She served the 'Olympic' and the Titanic.
1911
TRAFFIC
Built as a tender for transporting passengers and baggage from dockside to the transatlantic liners. The 'Traffic' was present at the 'Olympic's' sea trials and then again at the Titanic's Cherbourg stop. During WWI, 'Traffic' served as a Naval tender for the Admiralty. In 1934 'Traffic' was sold to a French company (Soc. Cherbourgoise de Remorquage et Sauvetage). During WWII she served in the French Navy. When Cherbourg was overtaken by the Germans in June of 1940, 'Traffic' was scuttled by the Germans. It was later raised and put into German Naval service as a coastal convoy armed escort vessel. On January 17th, 1941 while engaged in combat with the British Navy, she was sunk in the English Channel.
1912
TITANIC
Sister ship to the 'Olympic' and 'Britannic". On her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, she struck an iceberg 400 miles of the New Foundland coast and sank, taking with her the lives of 1,503 people in that "Fateful Night" (April 14th - April 15th, 1912).
1913
CERAMIC
Truly an interesting career.!.!.! She was originally built as an 820 cabin class passenger ship. She was requisitioned in 1914 as a troop transport ship and fitted with 2 permanent 4.7" deck guns. Attacked by a German U-Boat in the Mediterranean with 2,500 troops aboard and escaped unscathed. Used mainly as a cargo supply ship during WWI the 'Ceramic' was attacked two more times by German U-Boats and somehow again managed to escape unscathed (most likely due to her speed, twin reciprocating engines and a center turbine - like the Titanic). She returned to passenger service after a refit in 1919. During WWII she was again called to government duty in 1940 as a troop transport ship. The 'Ceramic' collided with the Weir Line ship 'Testbank', miraculously the 'Ceramic' again escaped undamaged. On November 23rd, 1942 after leaving Liverpool enroute to South Africa with 600 troops aboard, she was torpedoed by the German submarine 'U-155' off the banks of the Azores and 655 men were killed. There was only one survivor, an engineer, who was immediately captured by the submarine. The British government had no idea that the 'Ceramic' had even been attacked until the surviving engineer wrote a letter to his family from a German POW camp in Marlag-Milag-Nord, outside of Hamburg.!.!.!
1914
ALBERTIC
Originally named 'Munchen' built for the Norddeutsche Lloyd Line. The ship was ceded to Britain as war reparations under the Treaty of Versailles in June of 1920. It was purchased form the British Government by the Royal Mail Line and renamed 'Ohio'. In 1923 it was transferred to the White Star Line and renamed 'Albertic'. She sailed the Liverpool - Quebec route to replace the recently lost 'Celtic'. When the Cunard and White Star Line merged in 1934 the 'Albertic' was no longer needed. She was sold to a Japanese company and scrapped in 1934.

GIGANTIC (2nd)
Renamed 'Britannic' after the Titanic disaster. She never saw service as a commercial liner. As she neared her fitting completion WWI broke out and she was commissioned by the British Admiralty as a hospital ship. On November 21st, 1916 while in the Aegean Sea the 'Brittanic' ran upon a mine field, supposedly laid by a German submarine just one hour before.
