Navigazione Generale Italiana
"Milazzo", built for and operated by Navigazione Generale Italiana, sailed to New York on her maiden voyage in June 1916. In October, on her second eastbound voyage, the ship put in at the Azores with three of her cargo holds ablaze; her New York agent attributed the fires to sabotage. On 29 August 1917, "Milazzo" was sunk by the Austro-Hungarian Navy submarine under the command of Georg Ritter von Trapp, later more notable as the patriarch of the family featured in "The Sound of Music".
