RMS Republic was a steam-powered ocean liner built in 1903 by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, and was lost at sea in a collision six years later while sailing for the White Star Line. A CQD distress call was issued on the new Marconi radio device, the first recorded, resulting in saving of around 1200 souls. In her time, she was one of the largest, most modern and luxurious passenger vessels afloat.
