The Teutonic-class ocean liners were a pair of passenger liners named the Teutonic and Majestic. The ships were built by Harland & Wolff shipyard for the White Star Line, specifically for the White Star Line's transatlantic service route. They are also renowned as revolutionary for the time because their main propulsion were propellers instead of square-rigged sails.^[1]
