Saleeby Leviathan Ship

Initially built in Germany and named SS Vaterland, it was seized by the United States during World War I and renamed SS Leviathan, later carrying passengers on transatlantic voyages between Europe and the United States. In 1925, Helen Saleeby arrived to the United States from Lebanon/Syria in one of these routes.
