The Big Four class of ships were perhaps the most successful and profitable ocean liners in White Star Line's history. While they were not as glamorous as Olympic or Titanic or as fast as Oceanic, they were practical, comfortable, and popular transatlantic vessels. In fact, some of White Star's most profitable years can be largely attributed to Celtic, Cedric, Baltic, and Adriatic.

Remember that well trained, seasoned crew were a valuable commodity. All of the crew of the Titanic was placed in similar positions or advanced in rank (officers) in other White Star ships. Titanic sank in 1912, but the careers of her surviving crew continued well into the 1920's. Olympic also received Titanic survivor crew and some were still aboard when she was sold and scrapped. It's a fascinating side story.

7:15 White Star's practice of providing private cabins to married couples and families actually began with Teutonic and Majestic, with the rest of the passengers berthed in 20-person dormitory style rooms. This practice carried over with Cymric and Oceanic, but Celtic broke the mold. At the forward end there were 600 berths in dormitory rooms, while the rest were quartered aft in two, four and six berth cabins. The forward berths were only used when the ship was fully booked, and the aft accommodation was divided into six sections, three on E Deck and three on F Deck, divided by watertight bulkheads. The forwardmost on each deck were commonly occupied by men, while women, married couples and families took the rest

Wonderful history of the Big Four, thank you. My paternal grandmother & family emigrated to the U.S. aboard the R.M.S. Celtic from Cobh to Boston in August 1925 7 days, 7 hours & 42 minutes with an average speed of 15.67 knots. She said it wasn't the most pleasant journey. I have a nice little card with a picture of the Celtic & an abstract of the long . It's a wonderful memento.

One crucial part of the formula for the plan for the Big Four was the Cymric. She was the first of White Star's intermediate liners, entering service the year before Oceanic and later spending most of her career on the Liverpool to Boston service. She'd initially been designed as a livestock carrier with accommodation for 258 First Class passengers, so her smaller engines left more space for passenger accommodations. Later her design was changed and her livestock areas were replaced with accommodations for 1,160 Third Class passengers. Compared to Oceanic she sailed more smoothly, consumed less fuel and made for a bit more comfortable crossing

Interestingly, the decision to dispose of the remaining members of the Big Four came just before the White Star-Cunard merger. The metric used to decide which company would absorb the other was size of fleets.
