SS Malolo
SS ''Malolo'' (later known as ''Matsonia'', ''Atlantic'', and ''Queen Frederica'') was an American ocean liner and cruise ship built by William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia in 1926 for the Matson Line. She was the first of a number of ships designed by William Francis Gibbs for the line, which did much to develop tourism in the Hawaiian Islands. In 1927 Matson commissioned its largest ship yet, the ''Malolo'' (flying fish) for the first-class luxury service between San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Honolulu. The ''Malolo'' and other Matson liners advertised superb public rooms, spacious cabins, swimming pools, a gymnasium, and a staff, including a hairdresser, to provide a high standard of service.〔Great Luxury Liners 1927-1954, A Photographic Record by William H. Miller, Jr.〕
==''Malolo''==
The ''Malolo'' introduced improved safety standards which influenced all subsequent American passenger liners. On 25 May 1927 while on her sea trials in the western Atlantic, she collided with the SS ''Jacob Christensen'', a Norwegian freighter, with an impact equal to that when struck an iceberg and sank 15 years earlier. ''Malolo's'' advanced watertight compartments allowed her to stay afloat and sail into New York Harbor flooded with over 7,000 tons of sea water in her hull.〔Brayard, ''By Their Works Ye Shall Know Them'', 35-41.〕
