SS Tauric was an ocean liner built in 1891 by Harland and Wolff for the
White Star Line and completed on 16 May 1891.
[1] Though designed as a
livestock carrier,
Tauric carried a small amount of cabin-(second-) and
steerage-(third-) class passengers.
[2] Her maiden voyage began at Liverpool and ended at New York. After this,
Tauric began running the Liverpool to Portland, Maine route. In 1903, the White Star Line had the ship chartered to the
Dominion Line, now taking on the name
Welshman. The Dominion Line in turn transferred her to the
Leyland Line in 1921. She was scrapped eight years later, in 1929.
