Registered 14,343 Tons

The Tuscania. owned by the Anchor
line and under charter to the Cunard
line. was British passenger and
freight vessel Of 1898 tons gross reg
lister.
During her days as a passenger liner
she was one of the best equipped yes
sells in the transatlantic service. She is
the fifth big vessel the Cunard COM
pany has lost since war began. and carried
a crew Of 220.
The other ships were: Caledonia. sunk
in 1916: Cameronia, April is, 1917; Tran
sylvania. May 4. 1917: California. Febru-
ary, 1917.
The last report of the Tuscania was
of her arrival at an Atlantic port on
January II last. She was built at
voyage in February. 1915. and for a
time was in the service of the British
admiralty, but later was restored to
her owners for regular service.
She was 567 feet long. with 66-foot
beam, and was equipped to carry $500
passengers in cabin and steerage ac-
commodations. The ship had twin
screws and a speed of about eighteen
war began she was the object of tor
pedo attack, but managed to escape
through her speed. assisted by defense
guns.
EallnouSH TO january i the
present year there were more than 200,
900 American troops in France. ac-
cordtng to the statement made by Sec
retary of War Baker, the Tuscania was
the first transport to be torpedoed on
the voyage from an American port to
France
When the Tuscania was first put into
service her appointments for first cabin
passengers. of whom she could carry
$50. were sumptuous. The paneling of
her main lounge room was in olive
wood. inlaid with line of sycamore.
The floors were Of polished oak
A veranda. cafe and gymnasium
smoking rooms. dining salons and
novel system Of heating and ventilation
were features Of the new liner. The
first and second class staterooms We're
situated on the bridge deck and shelter
deck amidships and were large and
well furnished.
1t is probable. however. in view of the
eXigencies of the situation that the
steamer has been stripped of most of
her luxurious fittings in order to take
as great a number of troops as possible
on each voyage.
