The 12,531-ton passenger and cargo ship Suevic (Yard No. 333) was launched today for the Oceanic Steam Navigation Co. Ltd., Liverpool (White Star Line). Suevic, built for the Company’s new Cape and Australia service, was the last launch of the year by Harland & Wolff.
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.
