Canopic was originally built in 1990 as Commonwealth

to the White Star Line and renamed Canopic. The

In 1904 Canopic was transferred to the New York to
Mediterranean service.
From 1917 to 1919 Canopic operated under the Liner
Requesition Scheme.
In February 1919, Canopic reverted back to White
Star Line, and in July went to the New York to

In 1922 Canopic replaced the Arabic on the
Mediterranean route. On April 13, 1922 she made her
first voyage on the Liverpool to Halifax to Boston
route, then to the Montreal run for the summer.
On November 10, 1922 Canopic started on the Bremen
to New York service.
In November 1923 she took over the Hamburg to New
