March 1922: Bismarck seen upon completion at Blohm & Voss. Bismarck had been launched before the Great War and was handed over to Great Britain as war reparations. She was given to the White Star Line to replace Britannic and renamed Majestic. As a protest the shipyard had painted the funnels in Hamburg-Amerika Line colors and the name Bismarck appeared on the bows.

Majestic arriving at New York, date unknown.
