Daily Event for October 20


Oct. 20, 1906 the White Star liner Adriatic was launched at Harland & Wolff in Belfast, Ireland. She was
the last of the "Big Four" and would have a long if uneventful life. She sailed the North Atlantic and cruised
the Mediterranean until sold to Japanese shipbreakers in 1934.
