Steamship Leviathan: A Historic Vessel of Transatlantic Travel and War Reparations This photograph showcases the majestic Steamship Leviathan, an Atlantic liner that once graced the waters between Europe and North America. Originally named Vaterland when it was built for Hamburg-Amerika Line in 1913, this magnificent vessel was later taken as war reparations following World War I. The United States Lines acquired the ship in 1924 and underwent extensive reconditioning efforts, costing a substantial 2 million dollars (equivalent to 28 million in today's value). The Leviathan was a true marvel of its time, boasting impressive dimensions: a length of 852 feet, a beam of 92.5 feet, and a draft of 30.5 feet. With a capacity of over 2,000 passengers, it was one of the largest and most luxurious ocean liners in service. Its grandeur was matched by its advanced engineering, featuring advanced steam turbines and propellers that enabled it to reach impressive speeds. The Leviathan's transformation from Vaterland to a United States Line vessel marked the beginning of a new chapter in its storied history. It continued to transport passengers across the Atlantic Ocean, offering them a comfortable and luxurious journey. The ship's elegant interiors, featuring opulent lounges, spacious cabins, and fine dining options, epitomized the golden age of ocean travel. This photograph captures the essence of the Steamship Leviathan's grandeur and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the vessel's role in maritime history, from its origins as a German luxury liner to its new life as an iconic American transport ship. The Leviathan's legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration, making it a cherished subject for collectors and historians alike.
