The SS Gallic was a passenger liner built in 1918 for the White Star Line. It was later operated by the Cunard Line and had a brief military service during World War II. The ship had a luxurious interior with amenities such as a swimming pool, library, and gymnasium. In 1933, the Gallic was refitted to accommodate increased passenger capacity. During World War II, it served as a troopship and was involved in the evacuation of British troops from France in 1940. The ship was eventually scrapped in 1950 after a long and varied career. The SS Gallic had a significant role in both civilian and military transportation during its time in service.
