Majestic to sail as the former German liner Bismarck
The big German liner Bismarck, largest ship afloat, is to be renamed the Majestic under White Star ownership. At 66,000 gross tons it will be the second Majestic under the British flag, far larger than the 1889 vessel that became HQ for war production. The new Majestic, built to exceed Leviathan, awaits completion and sale terms with German yards adjusting under the reparations pact.
