The RMS Victorian was a passenger steamship that was built in 1904 by Harland and Wolff in Belfast for the Allan Line. It had a luxurious interior, with accommodations for 200 first-class passengers and 1,000 third-class passengers. The ship was known for its speed and elegance, featuring amenities such as a swimming pool, Turkish baths, and a grand staircase. During its service, the RMS Victorian primarily operated on the Liverpool to Quebec and Montreal route, providing transportation for immigrants and passengers traveling between Europe and North America. The ship was also used for troop transport during World War I. In 1921, the RMS Victorian was sold to Italian owners and renamed the SS Baffin. It continued to operate until 1925 when it was scrapped in Italy. The RMS Victorian had a relatively short but significant career, serving as a popular and well-regarded vessel for passengers crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
