Several trials of speed were made, mostly at night, the results of which were reported to be fully satisfactory. With only three-quarter boiler power a speed of eighteen knots was easily maintained with the engines making sixty revolutions per minute.
At dinner many complimentary speeches were made about Teutonic and Sir Edward Harland, replying on behalf for his firm, said ‘it always gave satisfaction to a builder to come to the conclusion of his work, and he hoped and trusted that in the case of the Teutonic their work would prove a success.
