The White Star Line Lives On

​Cunard White Star Line is formed with White Star Line owning 62 % of shares and Cunard owning 38 %. The ex-White Star liners Majestic and Oceanic are paired with the ex-Cunard liners Berengaria and Aquitania on the New York to Southampton route while the Olympic, Titanic (famous for nearly colliding with an iceberg), Lusitania (also nearly sunk), Mauretania, and Homeric were all switched to cruising.

The Georgic then takes the place of the Aquitania, which is sold for scrapping in July. The new service including the second (Georgic), the third (
