#ss naronic

Not exactly an ocean liner but, SS Naronic was a White Star Liner that was built as a cargo/livestock carrier in the early 1890s serving with her sister the Bovic. On her 16th voyage she vanished, with the only traces of her being two lifeboats found in the water. In the following months and years, messages in bottles were recovered supposedly originating from the Naronic stating that the ship was sinking fast in a blinding snowstorm, with one bottle saying they hit a berg. The ship and all 72 lives aboard her were lost. There are no known photographs of the Naronic, but she was identical to her sister Bovic. It’s believed that she went down roughly 20 miles from where Titanic would sink 20 years later. (I didn’t know what ship to do so I chose the first ship that appeared in my camera roll)

Ocean Liners!!

hey, anybody who knows anything about the history of ocean liners, please send me some of your knowledge! I'm currently fixated on Titanic, but info on any ocean liner is welcome!
