BRONZE BELL FROM THE S.S. LEVIATHAN
BRONZE BELL FROM THE S.S. LEVIATHAN HEIGHT 22". DIAMETER 24". HEIGHT ON STAND 65".BRONZE BELL FROM THE S.S. LEVIATHAN, Cast in bronze by Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Newport News, Virginia, 1923. Dimensions: Height 22". Diameter 24". Height on stand 65". Provenance: Property of India House, New York.Note:The second of Albert Ballin's trio of super-liners, the Leviathan, originally named Vaterland, was built by Blohm & Voss in 1914 with principal dimensions of 948-ft. LOA and 100-ft. beam, and she cruised at 23 knots. She had numerous innovative features and refinements that included split uptakes from the engine room to the first two funnels, which allowed for uninterrupted public spaces of 300 feet and forced draft ventilation that all but eliminated the use of funnels. Leviathan also had a double bottom and watertight bulkheads that had attained new importance after the Titanic's tragedy. Her career as a German passenger liner was brief; while she was docked in Hoboken, New Jersey, the United States entered the World War I and seized Vaterland. The U.S Navy commissioned her U.S.S. Leviathan, a name chosen by Woodrow Wilson, as a troop ship. During her service she carried 119,000 American Expeditionary Force troops to Europe. She was decommissioned from the U.S Navy in 1919. From 1919 to 1922, she was laid up in New York Harbor until it was decided to put her back in service. After a complete reconditioning at Newport News, she entered commercial service as the flagship of the new United States Lines, which operated her for the U.S. Shipping Board until 1929. Subsequently sold into private hands, the ship ran until 1934. High operating costs and low passenger numbers during the Depression led to the Leviathan being laid up in New York Harbor until 1938, when she was sold to the ship breakers Rosyth & T.W. Ward of Sheffield, United Kingdom.
