Davis / Please compare Haversines within with Table 45 - Where did they get it" The SS Leviathan originally built as the SS Vaterland was a prominent ocean liner in the early 20th century. Launched in 1913 by the Hamburg America Line the Vaterland was the largest passenger ship in the world at the time of her completion. She began her maiden voyage in 1914 but her career as a German liner was short-lived due to the outbreak of World War I. Seized by the United States in 1917 she was renamed the SS Leviathan and served as a troopship during the war. After the war the Leviathan was refitted for passenger service and became a flagship for the United States Lines symbolizing American maritime prowess. She served the transatlantic route offering luxurious accommodations and epitomizing the grandeur of ocean travel in the Roaring Twenties. The SS Leviathan remained in service until 1934 marking an era of significant transitions in maritime history and technological advancements in shipbuilding.

1953ref. 234931953. Postwar Pacific shipwreck salvage photo archive depicting named crewmen and firsthand recovery work aboard the wrecked steam-powered Liberty ship SS Quartette at Pearl and Hermes Atoll 1952-1953. Photos record the salvage-crew point of view: men are identified by name operations are captioned in plain working language and the broken ship is recorded from alongside above and within the wreck itself. The wreck is described "The deck torn like paper by the storm." The archive preserves the world of postwar maritime recovery where wartime-built cargo vessels still carried American trade across remote Pacific routes and salvage depended on small boats improvised rigging and dangerous work on unstable steel. Photo archive of 24 silver gelatin photographs mounted to album leaves each approximately 4 x 5 inches Pearl and Hermes Atoll and open Pacific waters circa 1952-1953. Captions identify the subject as "The wreck of the SS Quartette" and name specific operations including "Running the gape in the mud between bow and center sections" "Up goes the compressor" "Returning one of the generators to the ship" and "The work goes on all day and at night they rig lights." The ship appears split into bow center and fantail sections with captions marking "No. 1 hole from sea ward" "Looking down no. 2 hole" "The fantail and center section" "The bow from the boat" and "The deck torn like paper by the storm." Named men include Lt. Hill Capt. Tiernan Chappell Amos Burnett DeArcy Hughes Kirby Snow Grassnickel Gator and Ashburn; several pose or work near life rings lettered "S.S. Quartette Wilmington Del." Crews haul a compressor by boom move generators lower men into workboats stand on torn deck plating and work beside open holds twisted railings broken ladders and hull sections still taking heavy surf. Liberty ships were built quickly during World War II to keep Allied supply lines moving and hundreds remained in postwar service carrying commercial cargo across routes that still depended on wartime hulls crews and equipment. The Quartette ran aground at Pearl and Hermes Atoll in December 1952 after navigational error placed her on the reef; salvage efforts recovered what could be removed before storms and surf destroyed the ship further and forced abandonment. Album leaves with edge chipping cracking and corner wear; photographs with light fading surface wear and minor creasing; overall in good condition. The archive offers close documentation of Pacific salvage work before the wreck became a submerged maritime site within what is now PapahÄnaumokuÄkea Marine National Monument. unknown
