City of Honolulu which featured here a Boat Deck and A - D Decks with cabins staterooms and facilities all clearly demarcated. The S.S.

She resumed passenger service in 1922 as the SS President Arthur sailed for the American Palestine Line becoming the first ocean liner to fly the Zionist flag as she sailed to Palestine from New York and also featured the first women ship’s officers.
