SS Bovic

SS Bovic was a steamship built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast for the White Star Line.

A sister ship to the SS Naronic, the ship was launched on 28 June 1892, and began her maiden voyage on 26 August 1892, sailing from Liverpool to New York City. Originally designed to carry livestock with a small number of passengers, she was later converted into a passenger ship.

On 19 August 1915, while off the coast of southern Ireland, she narrowly avoided destruction by what is believed to be the German U-boat SM U-24, which had sunk four other vessels, including White Star Line's SS Arabic (1902) in the same area that day. Bovic was pursued by the submarine, but managed to escape.

In 1917 she was requisitioned for war service.

In 1922 she was sold to the Leyland Line and renamed Colonian. She was scrapped at Rotterdam in 1928.
