SS Traffic (1911)
SS ''Traffic'' was a tender of the White Star Line, and the sister ship to the SS ''Nomadic''. She was built for the White Star Line by Harland and Wolff, at Belfast, to serve the luxury ''Olympic''-class ocean liners. SS ''Traffic'' ferried some of the third class passengers to for her maiden voyage. She served as a tender for White Star, and supported troop ships during the First World War. After the war she was sold to Société Cherbourgeoise Transbordement, and later renamed ''Ingénieur Riebell''. She was scuttled by the French as the Germans invaded in 1940, but was salvaged and used by the Germans as an armed coastal vessel until being sunk for a final time by the British in 1941.
==Early life and ''Titanic''==
Harland and Wolff laid down ''Traffic''s keel on 22 December 1910 and launched her on 27 April 1911, two days after her sister, ''Nomadic''. The vessel then underwent sea trials on 18 May 1911, before being handed over to the White Star Line on 27 May 1911. Two days later, on 29 May, ''Nomadic'' and ''Traffic'' attended as she carried out her sea trials. The two tenders then sailed to Southampton, and then on to Cherbourg, where they were based. ''Traffic'' carried third-class passengers, as well as mail, cargo and baggage, out to the White Star Line's large ocean liners, while ''Nomadic'' carried first- and second-class passengers. ''Traffic'' took passengers and mail out to ''Titanic'' on 10 April 1912 while the liner lay moored in the roads off the port, preparatory to beginning her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. ''Traffic'' could accommodate 1,200 third-class passengers, considerably more than ''Olympic'' and ''Titanic's'' actual third-class passenger capacity. Despite this, ''Nomadic'' also had a small third-class area below deck to accommodate for ''Traffic's'' over-spill of passengers.
