![]() ![]() In 1929, an economic crisis (the Great Depression) all work on constructing the ship ceased, and saw the entire ship cancelled after the Royal Mail Case in 1931. After the final design was proposed, construction finally began in 1928, but her construction was moving at a slow pace. White Star Line also ordered a smaller liner to serve as a running mate for the Oceanic, the MV Britannic (which shared some design features from Oceanic). In 1926, the first design for Oceanic was proposed, and it looked very similar to the Olympic-Class but with a few modifications to the stern section. White Star Line also wanted a ship to replace the RMS Homeric due to her being smaller, slower, and less profitable compared to RMS Majestic and RMS Olympic. She was designed in response to the much larger ships being built in other countries and their rivals, Cunard Line (which were at the time constructing the RMS Queen Mary). She would've been the 3rd ship in the White Star Line to bear the name Oceanic. Here is the RMMV Oceanic, a cancelled liner intended for the White Star Line.
