SS Germanic
British transatlantic ocean liner
History
SS Germanic was an ocean liner built by Harland and Wolff in 1874 and operated by the White Star Line. She was the sister ship of Britannic, serving with the White Star Line until 1904. She later operated under the name Ottawa until 1910. After passing into Turkish ownership she operated under the name Gülcemal (English: rose-faced Latinized as Gül Djemal before adoption of Latin-based script) and gained great popularity until she was broken up in 1950 after a total career of 75 years.
