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

[3][4] On 4 August 1900, Bovic was docked at Pier 49 at New York Harbor, adjacent to the White Star Line's flagship Oceanic, when a major fire broke out in one of her cargo holds, which threatened to spread to Oceanic.

[4] 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 U-24, which had sunk four other vessels, including White Star Line's Arabic in the same area that day.

[3] She resumed White Star Line service between 1919, continuing to sail between Liverpool and New York until April 1922.

[6] In April 1922 she was sold to the Leyland Line and renamed Colonian, and her masts were back to their normal height.
