RMS Victorian
RMS ''Victorian'' was an ocean liner of the Allan Line, built for service between Britain and North America. She was and was the first large civilian ship propelled by steam turbines. She was in service for almost a quarter of a century, and was broken up in 1929.
==Background==
Canadian Pacific Steamship Company bought the Beaver Line in 1903 and entered the transatlantic trade. To compete, in October 1903 Allan Line ordered two large new liners. They were originally intended to be conventional twin-screw ships powered by reciprocating steam engines.
The specification was changed to triple-shafted vessels propelled by steam turbines in light of the great success of , a turbine-powered excursion vessel in service on the Firth of Clyde since 1901. Allan Line ordered engines similar to that of ''King Edward'' from the same builder, the Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company. ''Victorian'' became the first three-shaft ship and the first turbine liner in Atlantic service, and with sister ship became the first large turbine-powered commercial vessels of any kind, at a time when others doubted the wisdom of using the new technology in large ships.
