C. 1918 U.S.S. GEORGE WASHINGTON Troopship Souvenir Photo Mailer w/ 10 Images:
$45.00

United States Lines - A favorite of doughboys sailing on World War I troopships - the fold-out \"Aboard\" photo souvenir. This one is circa 1918 from the U.S.S. GEORGE WASHINGTON, broadly heralded as \"the ship the President sailed on.\"

Inside are ten postcard-size photos including President Wilson touring the bridge. Also shown: the U.S.S. LEVIATHAN sailing by, a portrait of the ship dressed out flags, the final plunge of the U.S.S. COVINGTON (ex-Hamburg American liner CINCINNATI), Officers\' Dining Room, looking aft along the port side, shoving coal in the furnaces, passing the Statue of Liberty, the engine room, and the New York skyline. The covers show views of the GEORGE WASHINGTON.

What a storied ship! She sailed in civilian service for two different countries and three different lines, served as a troopship in two wars, survived a nine-year back-water laid-up, and burned twice. The last fire in 1951 finished off the forty-two year ship.

Good condition with wear.
