The lieutenant turned and attacked an
other, which sought safety in flight.
Meanwhile, the remaining German ma

Steamer for Years
Was One of Finest
In Atlantic Service

The President Lincoln, at the time of
her launching in 1907, shared with her
sister ship, the President Grant, the
honor of being the largest ship engaged
in the transatlantic carrying trade.
The boats were built for the Ham
burgAmerican line by the Harland e.
Wolff Shipyards at Belfast, Ireland.
The President Grant had accommoda-
tions for nearly 1000 persons and was
equipped with numerous innovations in
cabin furnishings. She was commonly
referred to as the "sea mammoth" and
ocean giant" before a new series of
vessels absorbed those titles.
The Grand Army of the Republic, in
1908, presented the vessel with bronze
memorial tablet of Abraham Lincoln.
Lieutenant Commander Sims, now the
Admiral Sims in command of our naval
forces in belligerent waters, made the
presentation address.
w. Hausman, the German portrait
painter. executed remarkable likeness
Of President Lincoln, which was placed
at the head of the grand companion
way of the vessel.
lhe PreSlOent Lincoln was conns-
Gated by the United States government
at the declaration of war. While the
vessel was in drydock undergoing re-
pairs of the German crews sabotage
and transformation into a transport
the Hausman portrait disappeared.
The government Immediately col
lected the art works from the other
ships taken over and stored them in
the custom house.
Like the other ships which passed
into transport service, the President
Lincoln faded from public sight with
her new function. The only linking
that she was being used to carry troops
was gathered from the general practice
of the government to employ the larger
ships for that service.

strength are employed that the patients
scream in terror.
