Image description

The "Leviathan," formerly the German passenger liner "Vaterland," leaving Hoboken for France. During the Spring and Summer of 1918 the "Leviathan" averaged 27 days for the round trip. The "Levi Nathan," as the soldiers called her, carried on each eastern voyage 12,000 soldiers, or the equivalent of a German division, and a crew of 2,000. This picture was withheld during the War out of deference to the British, who did not wish to give the enemy an opportunity to study the system of camouflage used by the Allies. Illustration for US Official Pictures of the World War, showing America's Participation, selected from the official files of the War Department by William E Moore and James C Russell (Pictoria Bureau, 1920). Gravure printed.
