Historic Value & Charm to Your Collection:The S.S. Leviathan has a rich and fascinating history. It was originally built as the S.S. Vaterland in 1913 for Germany’s Hamburg America Line and was the largest liner of its time. During World War I, the U.S. seized the ship while it was docked in America, renaming it the Leviathan. It became the largest and fastest liner in American history, serving as a troop transport for U.S. forces. After the war, the Leviathan was refitted into a luxury passenger liner for the United States Lines, boasting elegant interiors and lavish amenities. Though its prestige waned by the 1930s due to competition from modern vessels, the ship remained a symbol of grand ocean travel before being decommissioned and scrapped in 1938.
