A view of the White Star Liner ‘Oceanic’ leaving Queenstown (now Cobh) Harbour in 1905. Launched in 1899, it was largest ship in the world until 1901. At the outbreak of the First World War, the ship was requisitioned for service in the Royal Navy as an armed merchant cruiser. In September 1914, the ship ran aground off the coast of Shetland and was wrecked. She was the first Allied passenger ship to be lost in the war.
