Those were certainly the days of class.... class in the way we traveled and class in the way we presented ourselves anywhere in public. Class never goes out of style .... people just lose class.
The Majestic was laid down in Germany in 1914 as the Bismarck (not the battleship) and left idle for the duration of the war. She was completed in 1920 and ceded to White Star in reparations for the loss of the HMHS Britannic. At that time she was the largest ship in the world. A few years after the merger of White Star and Cunard in 1934, she was transfered to the crown and renamed the Caledonia to be used as a training vessel. She caught fire and was eventually scrapped just before WW II.
THANK'S for the memory it was amazing to see footage on board ss Majestic. My reason is that my father used to be in the pursers office on the "Majestic". What made you put so much on this site,as the White Star Line has long been gone. Thank you very much,regards Peter Stevens.
Although she was owned by White Star after WW1, she was actually a German ship, ceded to the Allies as reparations, I think. Her sisters became the Cunarder Berengaria and the American Leviathan. I think she was the biggest ship in the world at the time this movie was made. She didn't really look much like the Olympics, I don't think. One funnel less, for a start.
Majestic was owned by the whtie star line and she took a very close resembelance to the olympic class liners in their design she was 56,000 tonns good movie thx also.

She was originally part of the Bismarck class liners not the battleship Bismarck and the Tirpitz.
