SS Sierra Cordoba (1913)
SS ''Sierra Cordoba'' was a Norddeutscher Lloyd passenger and cargo ship completed 1913 by AG Vulcan Stettin.〔Launch may have been in late 1912 as the January 1913 issue of ''The Marine Engineer and Naval Architect'' (London) announced the ship "has just been successfully launched."〕 The ship operated between Bremen and Buenos Aires on the line's South American service and was equipped with wireless and "submarine sounding apparatus" 〔Possibly the Fessenden oscillator as it was being developed in 1912.〕 with accommodations for 116 first class, 74 second class and 1,270 "between decks" passengers. A description after the ship had been seized and restored in 1919 noted she was among the fastest and best equipped ships of the line with accommodations for 115 first class passengers and 1,572 third and steerage class passengers as well as a crew of 179 officers and men.〔This account was after the ship had been refurbished and perhaps modified in Panama after seizure.〕
During World War I ''Sierra Cordoba'' supplied German raiders, particularly while hiding in the Straits of Magellan. After that ship and ''Sierra Cordoba'' moved northward in the Pacific, where the cruiser met British forces, the German liner interned herself in Callao, Peru, named ''Callao'' and later transferred to the United States Shipping Board, refurbished by Panama Canal personnel and briefly placed in commission with the United States Navy as USS ''Callao'' (ID-4036) to bring service people home from Europe. The ship was sold, renamed ''Ruth Alexander'' in 1923 and put into coastwise passenger and cargo service between Puget Sound and Mexico, typically calling at Seattle, Victoria, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and (by 1931) Ensenada, Mexico, until finally converted to a cargo ship in 1939.
On 9 December 1941 ''Ruth Alexander'' arrived in Manila the day after Manila had learned of the coming of war to the Pacific (8 December Manila time). The ship survived bombing raids in Manila harbor before attempting to escape on 28 December, as United States forces were retreating into Bataan, and being bombed and abandoned on 31 December. One crew member was lost, four wounded, and all survivors were picked up by a Dutch Dornier 24 bomber. The ship finally sank on 2 January.
