Name that ship......?

[Pleiades]

She carried passengers who later had cause to regret the voyage!
She served in both World Wars!
She is still afloat!

Name on a virtual postcard please.

I was going to suggest HMS Discovery, but only really covers points 1 and 3. Not sure shipping cargo to the White Russians counts as serving.

Can only think of the USS Texas, but cannot figure in the passenger bit.
Only thought of that ship as I visited it about 25 yrs ago

Name that ship

Take a brownie point Nigel1 - HMS Caroline was a dam fine answer even if not quite the right one. In fact the ship is berthed very near to HMS Caroline.
This is her berth nowadays - right back where she was built in fact.

Take a bow Minn - now how did you know I wonder?

The SS Nomadic was built in 1911 by H&W in Belfast and was a White Star line ship. She ferried passengers out to the RMS Titanic, served in both world wars as a troopship and has returned to the Port of Belfast, courtesy of the Nomadic Charitable Trust - what a wonderful little ship. Another good reason to call at Belfast Harbour Marina when next pootling along those shores!
