National Affairs: The Leviathan
The Leviathan, formerly the German Vaterland, now owned by the U. S. Shipping Board, will leave her drydock at Newport News about May 1 to resume her place as the second largest ship in the world. She will ply the Atlantic passenger trade as a rival to the Majestic, the largest vessel, and the Mauretania, the fleetest. Nearly 3,000 workmen were employed in her refitting—an $8,500,000 job.
