SS Suevic
SS ''Suevic'' was a steamship built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast for the White Star Line. ''Suevic'' was the fifth and last of the "Jubilee Class" ocean liners, built specifically to service the Liverpool-Cape Town-Sydney route.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Suevic'' )〕 In 1907 she was shipwrecked off the south coast of England, but in the largest rescue of its kind, all passengers and crew were saved. The ship herself was deliberately broken in two, and a new bow was attached to the salvaged stern portion. Later serving as a Norwegian whaling factory ship carrying the name ''Skytteren'', she was scuttled off the Swedish coast in 1942 to prevent her capture by ships of Nazi Germany.
==Design and construction==
When White Star inaugurated service from Liverpool to Sydney in 1899, they commissioned three steam ships to be built for that route: ''Afric'', and . All three were single-funnel liners which measured just under and were configured to carry 320 steerage or third class passengers. Because these ships were launched in the last year of the 19th century, they were referred to as the "Jubilee Class", reflecting the popular mood regarding the coming of the new century. With the popularity of this route amongst immigrants to Australia, White Star quickly decided to order two more of the class, both of which would be slightly larger than the first three. The first of these was ''Runic'' (the second ship of that name), launched on 25 October 1900. The second, and largest of the class, was ''Suevic'', at . ''Runic'' and ''Suevic'' had several minor design changes, the most noticeable of which were the lengthening of the poop deck, and the moving of the bridge closer to the bow. These ships could carry 400 passengers and had seven cargo holds, some of which were refrigerated.〔
