RMS Majestic was an ocean liner which entered service in 1890 and was operated by the White Star Line. She was the sister ship of RMS Teutonic. Majestic and her sister were the flagships of White Star Line's fleet for around a decade, until Oceanic entered service in 1899. Her career spanning 24 years ended when she was scrapped in 1914.
