Context paragraphs:
SS Germanic (1874): SS "Germanic (1874-1950) was an ocean liner built by Harland and Wolff in 1875 and operated by the White Star Line.  She was later operated by other lines under the names Ottawa, Gul Djemal and Gulcemal".

American Palestine Line: The American Palestine Line was a steamship company, formed in 1924 in the U.S., for the purpose of providing direct passenger service from New York to Palestine.  It was reportedly the first steamship company owned and operated by Jews.  The company negotiated to purchase three ocean liners from the United States Shipping Board, but it was only able to purchase one,  , a former North German Lloyd steamer that operated as "Princess Alice" before being seized by the United States during World War I.  After refurbishing the liner, the company inaugurated service between New York and Palestine in March 1925, when "President Arthur" sailed on her maiden voyage.  A crowd of 15,000 witnessed ceremonies that included songs, prayers, and speeches in English and Yiddish.  The company claimed that "President Arthur" was the first ocean liner to fly the Zionist flag at sea and the first ocean liner ever to have female officers.

SS Île de France: The SS "Île de France" was a French ocean liner built in Saint-Nazaire, France for "Compagnie Générale Transatlantique".  The ship was the first major ocean liner built after the conclusion of World War I, and was the first liner ever to be decorated entirely with designs associated with the Art Deco style.  It was neither the largest ship nor the fastest, but was considered the most beautifully decorated built by CGT (also known as the "French Line") until the "Normandie" .

SS Republic (1871): SS "Republic" was an ocean liner built in 1871 by Harland and Wolff for White Star Line.  It was intended to be the last of four vessels forming the Oceanic class, before two new ships were commissioned.  After a rough maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York City on 1 February 1872, the ship was chosen to be on White Star Line's first voyage on the South Atlantic and Pacific line with four other ships, destined for Chile.  In 1874, the construction of modern ships SS "Germanic" and SS "Britannic" led to SS "Republic"' s becoming the standby vessel of White Star Line.  It occupied this position for 15 years, and attempts were made to modernise it in 1888.  When SS "Teutonic" and SS "Majestic" entered service in the following year, the "Republic" became surplus to White Star's needs.

Oceanic (unfinished ship): The RMMV (Royal Mail Motor Vessel) Oceanic was the planned name of an unfinished ocean liner that was partially built by Harland and Wolff for the White Star Line.  The ship was to have been the first 1000 ft -long ocean liner.  It was intended to be the largest ocean liner for the White Star Line, thus it would have been larger than the earlier White Star giants, "Olympic", "Titanic", "Britannic", and "Majestic".

Four funnel liner: A four funnel liner, four funnelled liner or four stacker is an ocean liner with four funnels.  The SS "Great Eastern", launched on 31 January 1858 (a full 40 years ahead of any comparable ships), was the only ocean liner to sport five funnels.  As one funnel was later removed, the "Great Eastern", by default, became the first ocean liner to have four funnels.  However, after the Great Eastern became a four funnel ship she never carried passengers so really should not be considered the first four funnel liner.  The SS "Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse", launched on 4 May 1897, was properly the first ocean liner to have four funnels and was one of the first of the golden era of ocean liners that became prominent in the early- to mid-20th century.  The most famous four funnel liners are the RMS "Titanic", which sank after striking an iceberg on her maiden voyage on 14 April 1912, and the RMS "Lusitania", which was torpedoed on 7 May 1915 during the First World War.

White Star Line: The Oceanic Steam Navigation Company or White Star Line of Boston Packers, more commonly known as just White Star Line, was a prominent British shipping company.

Escal'Atlantic: Escal'Atlantic, is a museum that explores the historic ocean liner experience in Saint-Nazaire, France.  The museum is found inside the former German World War II submarine pen in the harbour of the city port.  It tells the history of the ocean liner, allowing the visitor to wander the insides of an “ocean liner” from the past by visiting areas of a vessel and by means of artefacts.

SS Leonardo da Vinci (1960): SS "Leonardo da Vinci" was an ocean liner built in 1960 by Ansaldo Shipyards, Italy for the Italian Line as a replacement for their SS "Andrea Doria" that had been lost in 1956.  She was initially used in transatlantic service alongside SS "Cristoforo Colombo", and primarily for cruising after the delivery of the new SS "Michelangelo" and SS "Raffaello" in 1965.  In 1976 the "Leonardo da Vinci" became the last Italian Line passenger liner to be used in service across the North Atlantic.  Between 1977 and 1978 she was used as a cruise ship by Italia Crociere, but was laid up from 1978 onwards until 1982 when she was scrapped.

SS America (1939): SS "America" was an ocean liner launched in 1939 by Eleanor Roosevelt for United States Lines and designed by the noted American naval architect William Francis Gibbs.  She carried many names in the 54 years between her construction and her 1994 wrecking, as she served as the SS "America" (carrying this name three different times during her career), the USS "West Point", the SS "Australis", the SS "Italis", the SS "Noga", the SS "Alferdoss", and the SS "American Star".  She served most notably in passenger service as the SS "America", and as the Greek-flagged SS "Australis", She was finally wrecked as the SS "American Star" at Playa de Garcey on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands in 1994.  The wreck is still there to this day, but has now mostly collapsed into the sea and only the keel remains visible at low tide.
