The RMS Franconia was an ocean liner operated by the Cunard Line. She was launched on 23 July 1910 at the Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson Wallsend shipyard.^[1] Franconia was intended for the line's Boston service, being the largest ship of the time to enter Boston harbor, with winter service in the New York—Mediterranean cruising service.^[1]

Her maiden voyage in February 1911, was between Liverpool and Boston, USA.^[2]

She was nicknamed the Bathroom ship as she had more bathrooms and showers on board than the Mauretania.

She was unusual, as she did not have staterooms on the upper deck, instead she had a library, gymnasium and a lounge and smoking room.^[2]

After several years service primarily in the North Atlantic, she was taken into service as a troop transport in early 1915. On 4 October 1916, while heading for Salonika, she was torpedoed and sunk by the German U-boat UB-47 195 miles east of Malta. She was not carrying any troops but out of her 314 crew members, 12 died.^[2] The others were saved by the hospital ship Dover Castle.^[3]
