The Leviathan, originally called Vaterland, was a remarkable ship. She was one of the most popular liners of the 1920s and was a ship of many firsts. She was the first American superliner and set the stage for future successes with other famous passenger vessels such as the America and United States. This illustrated history captures her story.

Review:

Captures her story better than anyone else and, in affectionate memory of this great linker, offers us a glimpse into the long gone golden age of ocean travel. Highly recommended --The Nautical Magazine, April 2010

From the Author:

Correction 1: Page 23, paragraph 2, line 7 should read "Captain Ruser signaled full astern" rather than "full forward".

Correction 2: Page 112, paragraph 3, line 5 should read "Majestic in average passengers per crossing" instead of just "passenger"
