Lot 96: USED POSTCARD FROM THE RMS DORIC POSTED 25th SEPTEMBER 1933

Exceedingly rare to find posted colour postcard from the White Star Line ship the RMS Doric and it is dated 25th September 1933 posted from Gibraltar and is in an excellent condition.

[The RMS Doric was a British ocean liner operated by White Star Line. The RMS Doric was White Star’s second and last turbine-propelled ship. The vessel was constructed by Harland and Wolff in Belfast and was launched in 1922. Her passenger capacity was 600 in cabin class plus 1,700 3rd. class, with a crew of 350. The ship’s maiden voyage on 8 June 1923, was from Liverpool to Montreal, Canada. She served on this route until 1932. From 1933 Doric was used for only cruising, being based at Liverpool until 1934 when she was one of ten White Star liners transferred to the newly merged company Cunard White-Star Ltd.]
