RMS 'Majestic', White Star Line steamship, c1920s. Artist: Kingsway

RMS 'Majestic', White Star Line steamship, c1920s. Built in Germany as the SS 'Bismarck', this was the largest ship in the world when she was launched in 1914. The outbreak of the First World War delayed her completion and after the war she was turned over to Britain under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and was renamed 'Majestic', becoming the flagship of the White Star Line. She was sold in 1936 and transferred to Rosyth in Scotland to serve as a cadet training ship, HMS 'Caledonia', but was badly damaged by fire in 1939 and was sold for scrap the following year.
