Last Ship Built for the White Star Line: The M.V. Georgic was the last ship built for the famous White Star Line, which is best known for the RMS Titanic. It was completed in 1931 and was initially intended for luxury passenger service. Versatility and Wartime Service: During World War II, the M.V. Georgic was requisitioned by the British government and served as a troopship. In 1941, while in port in Egypt, the ship was heavily damaged by German bombs and a subsequent fire, causing the vessel to sink partially. However, the Georgic was later raised, refitted, and continued service for both military and civilian purposes. Survival and Post-War Service: After the war, the Georgic underwent significant repairs and continued service as a passenger and cargo ship under the Ministry of Transport. It continued to operate until it was eventually scrapped in 1956. Innovative Design: The Georgic was a motor vessel (M.V.), a relatively new design in the 1930s, as many ships at that time were still steam-powered. The ship was known for its sleek design, which made it one of the fastest ships in the White Star Line fleet. These historic and unique aspects would greatly enhance the interest and value of your eBay listing. Here’s a refined version of the listing description incorporating these details: Historic Value & Charm to Your Collection: This RPPC postcard of the M.V.
