Harland and Wolff - Shipbuilding and Engineering Works

Sister of the Pittsburgh she was delivered on 29th May 1923, for service with the Regina, and commenced her maiden voyage from Liverpool - Quebec - Montreal on 8th June. In October 1932 she was laid up after the end of the St. Lawrence season but in the following year began cruising out of Liverpool.

She was transferred to Cunard - White Star in 1934 and although surplus to requirements for the combined services continued to cruise during the summer before being laid up pending a decision about her long term future.

At 0400hrs on 5th September 1935, whilst returning from a Mediterranean cruise with 700 passengers, she was damaged forward after colliding in fog with Chargeurs Reuni Formigny off Cape Finisterre. The No.3 hold flooded and, as a list developed, an SOS was sent out and at 0530hrs P&O's Viceroy of India arrived on the scene and took off 241 passengers. Later Orient Lines Orion, which was on a maiden shakedown cruise, arrived and took off 486 passengers together with 42 crew members to look after them as the Orion only had First Class guests on board. The Doric then proceeded to Vigo for temporary repairs from where she sailed on 12th September bound for Tilbury where the damage was surveyed. She was deemed to be not worth repairing, declared a total constructive loss and sold to J. Cashmore for £35,000. She sailed from Tilbury on 9th November bound for Newport, Monmouthshire where she was broken up after only 14 years service. Her Fixtures and fittings were sold at public auction.
