Title: German Passenger Liners and Freighters
Description: Interned at their piers at Hoboken, New Jersey, on 4 April 1917, two days before the United States declared war on Germany. In the foreground is the stern of a U.S. Navy destroyer, which is keeping watch on the ships. The piers are those of the Hamburg-America Line (left center) and the North German Lloyd Line (right center). The large ship at left is S.S. Vaterland (later USS Leviathan). The four-funneled liner in right center is probably S.S. Kaiser Wilhelm II (later USS Agamemnon). Note the 3/50 gun on the destroyer's after deck. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
