RMS Cedric
"Cedric" was laid down in 1902 at the shipyard of Harland and Wolff, Belfast. She was the second of White Star's series known as the "Big Four", the other three being , and . "Celtic" was the first ship to exceed Brunel's in overall tonnage, which was quite an accomplishment, considering Brunel's giant ship held the size record for almost 40 years. Except for the "Adriatic" all of these in turn, when built, would be the largest ship in the world for a short time. RMS "Cedric" was a 21,035-gross ton ship, long and abeam, with two funnels, four masts, two propellers and a service speed of . There was accommodation for 365 first-, 160 second- and 2352 third-class passengers, and a crew of about 350. She was launched in Belfast on 21 August 1902, in a private ceremony which included several guests, amongst others William Pirrie, the chairman of Harland and Wolff and Bruce Ismay, chairman of White Star Line. RMS "Cedric" commenced her maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York on 11 February 1903. This was the only route on which she was ever used, although "Cedric" was also sometimes used for winter cruises to the Mediterranean.
