RMS MAJESTIC
ocean liner model
RMS Majestic was a White
Star ocean liner working on the North Atlantic run,
originally launched in 1914 as the Hamburg America Line
liner SS Bismarck. She was the largest ship in the
world until completion of SS Normandie in 1935.
The third and largest member of German HAPAG Line's trio
of transatlantic liners, her completion was delayed by
World War I. She never sailed under the German flag
except on her sea trials in 1922.
Following the war,
Majestic was
finished by her German builders, handed over to the
allies as war reparations and became the White Star Line
flagship Majestic. She served successfully throughout
the 1920s but the onset of the Great Depression made her
increasingly unprofitable. She managed to struggle
through the first half of the 1930s before being sold
off for scrapping to Thos W Ward. She was taken
possession of by the British Admiralty before demolition
commenced after an agreement was reached with White Star
and Thomas Ward. She served the Royal Navy as the
training ship HMS Caledonia before catching fire in 1939
and sinking.
