Après une escale rapide à Cherbourg où les nouveaux transbordeurs amènent les passagers suivi d'une escale en Irlande à Queenstown_Cobh, le paquebot s'engage dans l'océan Atlantique, malgré la taille du navire le mauvais temps ralenti un peu le navire mais le Capitaine Smith fait accélérer le navire dès que la météo le permet à nouveau. Le paquebot arrive à NewYork le 21 juin en fin de matinée, après une traversée de 5 jours, 16 heures et 42 minutes avec une vitesse moyenne de 21,7 n½uds.
After a short stopover in Cherbourg where the new tender-ships bring the passengers followed of a stopover in Ireland to Queenstown_Cobh, the passenger ship makes head in the Atlantic Ocean. In spite of the size of the ship, bad weather at the beginning of the crossing slows a little the ship but the Captain Smith ordered to light all the boilers to accelerate the ship as soon as the weather report allows it again.
The passenger ship arrives at NewYork on June 21st at the end of morning, after a crossing of 5 days, 16 hours and 42 minuts at an average speed of 21,7 knots.

Après quelques soucis dus à la grève des soutiers de charbon, le départ pour le voyage inaugural a lieu le 14 juin 1911 vers midi. A cause de la très grande taille du navire la sortie du bassin Ocean_Dock a demandé presque une heure, les remorqueurs et les pilotes n'étaient pas habitués. Les autres paquebots présents à Southampton : le Kroonland de la Red_Star_Line et le New_York de l'American_Line semblaient très petits à côté du nouveau paquebot géant.
After some concerns due to the strike of the coal-passers, the departure for the inaugural voyage takes place on June 14th, 1911 at around midday. Because of the very big size of the ship the leaving of the Ocean_Dock lasted almost one hour, tug boats and pilots were not used to the size of the ship. Other present passenger ships to Southampton : Kroonland of Red_Star_Line and New_York of American_Line seemed very small next to the new giant passenger ship.
