OCEANIA 1907
The OCEANIA was built in 1907 by A.Stephen & Sons, Glasgow for Unione Austriaca. She was a 5,497 gross ton ship, one funnel, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 15 knots. There was passenger accommodation for 45-1st, 75-2nd and 1,230-3rd class. Launched on 10/9/1907, she sailed on her maiden voyage from Trieste for Patras, Palermo and New York on 26/9/1908. In October 1913 she made her first and only round voyage from Trieste to Quebec and Montreal, and commenced her last round voyage on 30/5/1914, when she left Trieste for Patras, Palermo and New York (dep.24/6/1914). On 3/10/1918 she was mined and beached near Cape Rondoni, and on 15/10/1918 was blown up by the Austrians to avoid falling into Italian hands. [North Atlantic Seaway by N.R.P.Bonsor, vol.3,p.1332]
