The Oceanic Historical Society
The White Star Line was the trading name of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company Limited. During their many decades, they operated two ships called Oceanic and had plans for a third. Those plans, which were taking shape from the mid 1920s, never became a reality. Nonetheless, new material continues to be uncovered about their intentions for this great ship through the efforts of Eric Okanume.

The Oceanic Historical Society is led by a team of contributing historians who collaborate to research and document the history of the Oceanic. Founded by Eric Okanume, the Society unites dedicated researchers working to uncover new information, verify existing sources, and piece together a clearer understanding of the project’s development. Together, we combine our findings to create a comprehensive record of Oceanic’s legacy and the broader history of Harland & Wolff, the White Star Line, and twentieth-century shipbuilding.
