SS Doric (1883)

SS Doric was a British ocean liner operated by White Star Line. The ship was constructed by Harland and Wolff in Belfast and was launched in 1883. Doric was the sister ship to both the Coptic and the Ionic. Each of the three vessels were constructed of steel, a first for the ship building company, whose previous designs had been constructed only in iron. The vessel was the first White Star Line ship to bear the name Doric, with a later vessel built in 1923 also sharing the name. After serving on White Star Lines and Shaw, Savill & Albion Lines joint route from London to Wellington, she was chartered to the New Zealand Shipping Company. In 1896 Doric was again transferred, this time to the Joint White Star and Occidental & Oriental Line service running between San Francisco and Hong Kong. T
