These ships, with gross tonnage
of 527,29S and net of 1903, 800
tons, are interned mainly in New
York, Boston and Baltimore, but
there are several in Hilo and Hon
olulu harbors as well as at the
less important ports of both con.
tinental coasts.
The largest is, of course. the
huge Vaterland, 54,2S2 tons,
which long has been moored in
Upper New York harbor, where
also are the 25,0OO-ton George
Washington and the Kaiser vii.
helm H., President Lincoln and
President Grant, each of more
than $4,000 tons. Sixteen of the
vessels are of more than 10000
gross tons, all these belonging to
the Hamburg-American and the
North German Lloyd lines, in
each Of which the Hohenzollem
royal family is said to be heavily
interested financially.
