SS Celtic was an ocean liner built in 1872 by the shipbuilding company Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Ireland. The ship was constructed for the White Star Line and was one of the largest and fastest vessels of its time. With a length of 320 feet and a top speed of 14 knots, the Celtic was praised for its luxurious accommodations and innovative design. The ship had a successful career, primarily serving the Liverpool to New York route, and later the Liverpool to Boston route as well. However, the SS Celtic faced several incidents during its service, including a collision with another ship in 1887 and running aground on the coast of Ireland in 1893. Despite these setbacks, the SS Celtic continued to operate until 1903 when it was eventually scrapped in Italy. The ship's legacy lives on through its contribution to transatlantic travel history and its importance as a milestone in shipbuilding technology of the late 19th century.
