The outbreak of the First World War delayed her completion and after the war she was turned over to Britain under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and was renamed Majestic, becoming the flagship of the White Star Line. She was sold in 1936 and transferred to Rosyth in Scotland to serve as a cadet training ship, HMS Caledonia, but was badly damaged by fire in 1939 and was sold for scrap the following year

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic RMS Majestic, a White Star Line steamship from the 1920s. Originally built in Germany as the SS Bismarck, this grand vessel held the title of being the largest ship in the world upon its launch in 1914. However, due to the outbreak of World War I, its completion was delayed. After the war ended, under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, it was handed over to Britain and renamed Majestic, becoming an iconic flagship for White Star Line. In 1936, this remarkable ship was sold and transferred to Rosyth in Scotland where it served as a cadet training ship named HMS Caledonia. Tragically, disaster struck when a devastating fire severely damaged her in 1939. As a result, she was ultimately sold for scrap just one year later. The image beautifully captures this magnificent liner against a backdrop of sea and sky. The towering funnel stands tall amidst its surroundings while exuding an air of elegance and power. This postcard-like print allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship that went into constructing such a marvel but also serves as a reminder of an era when ocean liners were symbols of luxury travel and technological advancement. Created by Kingsway during the early twentieth century, this monochrome photograph transports us back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most renowned ships - RMS Majestic - forever immortalized through artistry and preserved within our collective memory.
