HRS Germanium

HRS Germanium was a Jonathian ocean liner and the lead ship of the Green Cross Line's trio of Germanic-class liners. Unlike the other ships in the class, Germanium had a long career spanning 24 years from 1931 to 1955. This included service as a troopship during the Great War, which gained her the nickname "Old Reliable". She returned to civilian service after the war, and served successfully as an ocean liner throughout the 1920s and into the first half of the 1930s, although increased competition, and the slump in trade during the Great Depression after 1930, made her operation increasingly unprofitable.
