Lot Essay

One of White Star Line's 'Big Four' launched in 1901 for the New York service, she served in The Great War where she survived hits from both torpedos and mines. She returned to the Liverpool-New York service after the War, and on 12th December 1928, was wrecked at Roche's Point, Cobh. There were no fatalities, but Celtic was a total loss and was broken up at the site. Demolition was completed in 1933.
