For Cia Transatlantica Centroamericano. Originally laid down as Minnelora on 7 June 1902 in Shipway J at New York Shipbuilding. In Camden, New Jersey. For the Atlantic Transport Line. For its San Francisco-Far East service, and renamed Mongolia. The 616-foot vessel was contract #5 for the young company, and the first passenger-cargo liner built by the firm. She was launched on July 25, 1903 and christened by Miss Lucy Bell Kennedy of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Was ordered at the same time and delivered three months after Mongolia. The accommodations of both ships reflected the importance of Chinese emigration. In the Far East. Including Mongolia to Atlantic Transport Line. For whom she plied the New York-London route. In March 1917, following the German declaration of a submarine blockade around Britain, Mongolia was chartered as an Army transport and received a self-defense armament of three 6-inch (150 mm) deck guns manned by U. One month later, Mongolia became the first American vessel to test the blockade, using those guns to drive off (and possibly sink) a U-boat. Seven miles southeast of Beachy Head. In the English Channel. That was the first armed encounter for an American vessel after the US’s entry to World War I. For the next year, Mongolia ferried American troops and supplies to Europe. Two American nurses, Clara Ayres. And Helen Burnett Wood. Were accidentally killed during one of these crossings, and another was wounded. During the afternoon of 20 May 1917, the nurses were on the deck of the Mongolia , observing the firing of the aft 6-inch gun, when they were struck by fragments of the shell’s. On 27 April 1918, the US Navy requisitioned the vessel, reconfigured her for greater troop capacity, and commissioned her on 8 May as USS Mongolia (ID-1615). In all, she completed twelve turnarounds at an average duration of 34 days and transporting over 33,000 passengers, before being decommissioned on 11 September 1919. And placed into service on its New York-San Francisco route via the Panama Canal. The former Mongolia sailed for only two years with the Dollar Line. With the onset of the Great Depression, she was laid up in New York, and when the Dollar Line collapsed in 1938 ownership passed to the newly created American President Lines. She never sailed under the APL pennant. She was scrapped in Shanghai, China, 20 May 1946. More than just a pretty picture. Try Vendio Image Hosting. FREE scheduling, supersized images and templates.
