What is white star line big four?

The White Star Line's Big Four were four of the largest and most elegant ocean liners of their time, built to compete with the best of the Cunard Line's ships. The Big Four consisted of the RMS Celtic, RMS Cedric, RMS Baltic, and the RMS Adriatic.

The first of the Big Four to be launched was the Celtic in 1901, followed by the Cedric in 1902, the Baltic in 1903, and the Adriatic in 1907. Each ship was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

These ships were designed to be fast and luxurious, with first-class accommodations that rivaled those of the best hotels. They were equipped with the latest technology, including wireless telegraphy and electric lighting. The Big Four were also among the first ships to have a swimming pool and a Turkish bath on board.

The ships were primarily used for transatlantic voyages between Europe and North America, with the Adriatic serving as the flagship. During World War I, the Cedric and the Baltic were used as troop transport ships, while the Celtic and the Adriatic were converted into hospital ships.

Unfortunately, only the Baltic survived beyond the 1920s, with the Celtic being scrapped in 1933, the Cedric in 1935, and the Adriatic in 1934. The Baltic continued in service until 1933 when she too was scrapped. Despite their relatively short lives, the White Star Line's Big Four left a lasting legacy in the world of ocean liners.
