GEORGE WASHINGTON: 1909
President's ship

GEORGE WASHINGTON: 1909<br>President's ship
USL: The seized Germany liner GEORGE WASHINGTON served as an American troopship throughout WW1. This unused photocard shows her flying the President's flag as she transported Woodrow Wilson to and from the Versailles Peace Conference. My great-grandfather actually testified in front of Wilson and the other leaders at the conference, but that is a story for another day. Afterwards the GEORGE WASHINGTON became a passenger liner for United States Lines under the same name. The Depression shuttled her off to lay-up but she was reactivated for further trooping duties during WW2. She was finally scrapped in 1951.
