The SS Scandinavian was a steamship built at Harland & Wolff in Belfast which entered service as an ocean liner in 1898.

[1] In the late 1890s the Dominion Line ordered three ships from Harland & Wolff for their profitable Liverpool-to-Boston service; the first of these was called New England; the others were the Commonwealth, and the Columbus.

[2] On 12 July 1907 Romanic collided with a 66-ton fishing schooner Natalie B. Nickerson in thick fog near the Nantucket Shoals.

The schooner sank and three of her crew of eighteen lost their lives; the Romanic picked up the survivors and landed them at Boston.

Romanic was withdrawn from the service in November 1911, and in January 1912 she was sold to the Glasgow based Allan Line and renamed Scandinavian.
