EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the British oil tanker HMS British Councillor is seen refueling the magnificent ocean liner Leviathan at sea. The Leviathan, originally named Vaterland and built as the second of a trio of transatlantic liners for Germany's Hamburg America Line, had an illustrious yet complex history. Launched in 1913, the early career of the Vaterland was cut short by the outbreak of World War I. Seized by the U.S. government in 1917, the ship was renamed Leviathan and put into service as a troopship for the United States during the war. Following the conflict, the Leviathan became the flagship of the United States Lines, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her storied history. Moored in the tranquil waters of a harbor or perhaps at sea, the Leviathan's impressive size and stature are on full display as the British Councillor approaches to transfer fuel. The ship's distinctive funnels, adorned with the American flag, stand tall against the horizon, while the intricate latticework of the tanker's hull can be seen in the foreground. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur of ocean travel during a bygone era and the intricate logistical process of keeping these massive vessels fueled and operational. The historical significance of the Leviathan, from her German origins to her service as an American flagship, is further emphasized by the presence of the British Councillor, highlighting the international cooperation and interconnectedness of the maritime world during this time.
