SS Ceramic
SS ''Ceramic'' was a British ocean liner built in Belfast for White Star Line in 1912–13 and operated on the Liverpool – Australia route. Ceramic was the largest ship until P&O introduced in 1923. In 1934 Shaw, Savill & Albion Line took over White Star's Australia route and acquired ''Ceramic''. The liner served as a troopship in both World Wars. She was sunk by a German submarine in 1942, leaving only one survivor from the 656 people aboard.
==Building==
Harland and Wolff built ''Ceramic'' in Belfast, launching her on 11 December 1912 and completing her in 1913.〔〔 She was delivered on 5 July〔 and her total cost was £436,000.
''Ceramic'' had two triple expansion engines, each with one high pressure, one medium pressure and two low pressure cylinders.〔〔 Exhaust steam from the two engines' low pressure cylinders drove a single low-pressure steam turbine. ''Ceramic'' was propelled by three screws: the middle one driven by the low-pressure turbine and the port and starboard ones each driven by one of the reciprocating engines.
''Ceramic'' had four decks and eight holds, and in her original configuration 38% of her cargo capacity was refrigerated.
