The SS Germanic was a transatlantic ocean liner constructed in 1874 for the White Star Line. With a length of 520 feet and a speed of 15 knots, the ship could accommodate over 1,000 passengers in three classes. The Germanic was known for its luxurious accommodations, including ornate decorations, spacious cabins, and plush furnishings. It operated on the Liverpool to New York route, offering a comfortable and elegant travel experience for passengers. The ship's career was marked by successful voyages and high passenger satisfaction. However, by the late 19th century, newer and faster liners began to outpace the Germanic, leading to its eventual retirement in 1903. Despite its eventual decline, the SS Germanic played a significant role in transatlantic travel during the late 19th century and remains an important part of maritime history.
