S.S. Leviathan / The Largest Ship in the World. Circa 1925.
Condition B: overpainting in margins; repaired tears, creases, abrasions and minor restoration in margins and image; repaired pin holes in corners. Matted and framed.
Originally a German ship named The Vaterland, she was seized during World War I and renamed The Leviathan. Though not in fact "The largest ship in the world," (she was second to White Star's Majestic,) the ship was a headline-maker and was considered to be one of the best-known liners in the western world. In 1923, the United States Shipping Board transferred the ship over to the United States Lines.
27½x21 inches, 69¾x53¼ cm.
