[Pacific University]

Made Pacific crossings for the Oceanic & Oriental Steamship Co., from 1885 to 1904. What was arguably the ship's most historic voyage ended on 13th January, 1903, when the ship arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii, with 102 Korean passengers -- the first Korean immigrants to what is now the United States.
 
The Gaelic was overhauled by Harland & Wolff in 1905 and sold to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company the same year and renamed Calliao, but was retired and broken up at Briton Ferry 1907.
