Further work was carried out at Belfast's Harland and Wolf --- the builders of Titanic. Now officially named "RMS Majestic". Also accepted as the "Worlds Largest Ship". By 10th May 1922 she was ready for the first run on the prestigious run Southampton>>> Cherbourg>>> New York and return. This run was her mainstay for most of her White Star Line career.

Firstly it made the fastest crossing, in 5 days, 5 hours and 21 minutes, and secondly on one voyage it carried a total of 2,625 passengers, one of the company's highest.
