During the war he was chief officer of the armed cruiser Celtic, in which steamer thousands of troops were conveyed across the Atlantic. Since that time Captain Trant has had command of various White Star steamers, the more recent ones being the Cedric, Medic, Runic, Ceramic, Adriatic, Megantic and Laurentic. He had also been assistant commander of the Majestic, where he served under the command of Sir Bertram Hayes. ,The Britannic is the world’s largest cabin motor vessel, has a tonnage of 27,000, and can accommodate 1500 passengers in her cabin, tourist third cabin and third-class accommodation. Captain Trant has been succeeded in command of the Laurentic by Captain J. B. Bulrnan, formerly in command of the Arabic. Captain Bulmau, who was born in the year 1871, joined the White Star Line in 1899 as a junior officer in the Afric.
