Days after the outbreak of war, she was commissioned into the Royal Navy and converted into an armed merchant cruiser. However, her new-found status was not to last - she grounded on the rocks off Foula, in the Shetlands, within weeks and became a total loss. When she was wrecked, she had on board Charles Lightoller, Titanic's senior surviving officer. \u003ci\u003eOceanic: White Star's 'Ship of the Century' \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book that looks at the entire career of this one-of-a-kind flagship.
