SS Adriatic

Several notable steamships have been named SS Adriatic, after the Adriatic Sea.

• An early Adriatic was operated by the Black Ball Line in the mid-19th century, and was among the first ships to be depicted on a postage stamp when used on a 12c value of the United States in 1869.

• The Adriatic of 1871 was operated by the White Star Line until 1898 and then scrapped soon after.

• The Adriatic of 1907 was also a White Star ship, scrapped in 1935.
