  Title: Four funnel liner
  Passage: A four funnel liner, four funnelled liner or four stacker is an ocean liner with four funnels.  The SS "Great Eastern", launched on 31 January 1858 (a full 40 years ahead of any comparable ships), was the only ocean liner to sport five funnels.  As one funnel was later removed, the "Great Eastern", by default, became the first ocean liner to have four funnels.  However, after the Great Eastern became a four funnel ship she never carried passengers so really should not be considered the first four funnel liner.  The SS "Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse", launched on 4 May 1897, was properly the first ocean liner to have four funnels and was one of the first of the golden era of ocean liners that became prominent in the early- to mid-20th century.  The most famous four funnel liners are the RMS "Titanic", which sank after striking an iceberg on her maiden voyage on 14 April 1912, and the RMS "Lusitania", which was torpedoed on 7 May 1915 during the First World War.
