SS Asiatic (1871)

SS Asiatic (1871)

SS "Asiatic" (sometimes operated as the RMS "Asiatic") was a steamship operated by the White Star Line and was a sister ship to the "Tropic". Built in 1871 at Liverpool by Thomas Royden and Sons for the White Star Line, the ship had three masts and one steam-driven propeller for power, and weighed 2,122 tons.

In 1873, following the wreck of the "Atlantic", "Asiatic" and "Tropic" were both sold to recoup capital. "Asiatic" was sold to South African Steam Ship Company, also known as the Elder Dempster Line and renamed "Ambriz". Later, she was sold to Cie. Française Charbonnage et de la Batelage, and was wrecked in February, 1903, off the coast of Madagascar.
