EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the U.S.S. Plymouth (PG 57), a ship with a fascinating history that spans continents and conflicts. Originally built for Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt in 1931 at the prestigious Krupp factory in Kiel, Germany, this vessel was known as the Alva before being generously donated to the U.S. Navy in 1941 and renamed as the U.S.S. Plymouth.
Despite its luxurious origins, the fate of this ship took a tragic turn during World War II when it was torpedoed by a U-boat in 1943. This event marked a somber chapter in its storied past, serving as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by naval vessels during wartime.
The image itself exudes an air of early 20th-century charm, showcasing the sleek lines and sturdy construction characteristic of ships from that era. The historical significance of this photograph is undeniable, offering viewers a glimpse into both the glamour and peril associated with maritime transport during times of conflict.
With its ties to prominent figures like Mrs. Vanderbilt and its dramatic end at sea, the U.S.S. Plymouth remains an enduring symbol of resilience and sacrifice in naval history.
