Oceanic

The third Oceanic was laid down on the 28th June 1928. She would perhaps have been the greatest White Star liner of all. Planned as a 1000 foot, 60,000 ton, diesel-electric powered giant, she was never completed because the combination of the Great Depression, decreased passenger loads due to U.S. immigration restrictions and financial mismanagement of White Star made it impossible for the Line to find the financing necessary to complete her.
