SS Leviathan
SS ''Leviathan'', originally built as the ''Vaterland'', was an ocean liner which regularly crossed the North Atlantic from 1914 to 1934. The second of three sister ships built for Germany's Hamburg America Line for their transatlantic passenger service, she sailed as the ''Vaterland'' for less than a year before her early career was halted by the start of World War I. In 1917, she was seized by the U.S. government and renamed ''Leviathan''. She would become known by this name for the majority of her career, both as a troopship during World War I and later as the flagship of the United States Lines.

''Vaterland'' had made only a few trips when, in late July 1914, she arrived at New York City just as World War I broke out. With a safe return to Germany rendered questionable by British dominance of the seas, she was laid up at her Hoboken, NJ, terminal and remained immobile for nearly three years.
