  • SS Kroonland was an ocean liner for International Mercantile Marine (IMM) from her launch in 1902 until she was scrapped in 1927. Kroonland was the sister ship of Finland and a near sister ship of Vaderland and Zeeland of the same company. Kroonland sailed for IMM's Red Star Line for 15 years, and also sailed for IMM's American Line and Panama Pacific Line. During World War I, the ship served as United States Army transport USAT Kroonland through April 1918, and as the Navy auxiliary USS Kroonland (ID-1541) from April 1918 to October 1919. Announced by the Red Star Line in 1899, Kroonland was completed in 1902 by William Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia. When launched, she was the largest U.S. steamship ever built. Kroonland sailed from New York City to Antwerp on her maiden voyage in June 1902, beginning service on the route she would sail for the next twelve years. According to The New York Times, Kroonland became the first ship to issue a wireless distress call at sea when she radioed for help during a storm in 1903. In another radio first, Kroonland heard the "first real broadcast of history" in December 1906. Kroonland was one of ten ships that came to the aid of the burning liner Volturno in the mid-Atlantic in October 1913. Despite stormy seas, Kroonland was able to take aboard 89 survivors, for which captain and crew received accolades that included U.S. Congressional Gold Medals. When the outbreak of World War I in August 1914 disrupted service to Belgium, Kroonland shifted to alternate routes. On a trip to the Mediterranean in October 1914, Kroonland was detained by British authorities at Gibraltar, and part of her cargo was confiscated amidst diplomatic wrangling between the then-neutral United States and the United Kingdom. During a chartered circumnavigation of South America in February 1915, Kroonland became the largest passenger ship to date to transit the Panama Canal. Kroonland was placed in New York – Panama Canal – San Francisco service until a landslide temporarily closed the canal to navigation. Returned to transatlantic service, Kroonland was one of the first U.S. ships armed by the Navy for defense against German submarine attacks. In May 1917 Kroonland was struck by a torpedo, which failed to detonate and only slightly damaged the ship. After the United States entered World War I, Kroonland served as a troopship for the U.S. Army and Navy. She made six trips carrying troops to France before the Armistice and eight voyages after, transporting nearly 38,000 troops in total. Returned to IMM in late 1919, Kroonland was scorched in a shipyard fire in January 1920 while she was being refitted for passenger service. The liner resumed North Atlantic service in April, remaining there until returning to New York – San Francisco service in 1923. Kroonland inaugurated IMM's winter New York – Miami service from December 1925 to March 1926, but was laid up in Hoboken, New Jersey, when IMM did not resume the Miami service the following year. The ship was sold and scrapped at Genoa in 1927. (en)
  • O SS Kroonland foi um transatlântico da International Mercantile Marine (IMM) desde sua botadura em 1902 até seu desmantelamento em 1927. Kroonland era a nau-irmã do , do e do , da mesma empresa. O Kroonland navegou pela Red Star Line da IMM por 15 anos e também pelas linhas e , ambas da IMM. Durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, o navio serviu como transporte no Exército dos Estados Unidos, sob a bandeira USAT Kroonland até abril de 1918, e como auxiliar da Marinha Americana sob a bandeira USS Kroonland (ID-1541) de abril de 1918 a outubro de 1919. Anunciado pela Red Star Line em 1899, o Kroonland teve sua construção concluída em 1902 pela William Cramp & Sons, da Filadélfia. Quando lançado, era o maior navio a vapor americano já construído. Partiu de Nova York para Antuérpia em sua primeira viagem em junho de 1902, iniciando o serviço na rota em que navegaria pelos próximos doze anos. De acordo com o The New York Times, o Kroonland tornou-se o primeiro navio a emitir um pedido de socorro sem fio no mar quando pediu ajuda por rádio durante uma tempestade em 1903. Em outro evento pioneiro no rádio, o Kroonland recebeu a "primeira transmissão real da história" em dezembro de 1906. O Kroonland foi um dos dez navios que vieram em auxílio do , que viu-se em chamas no meio do Atlântico em outubro de 1913. Apesar dos mares tempestuosos, o Kroonland conseguiu levar a bordo 89 sobreviventes, pelo que o capitão e a tripulação receberam honrarias, incluindo as Medalhas de Ouro do Congresso dos EUA. Quando o início da Primeira Guerra Mundial em agosto de 1914 causou a interrupção de seu serviço à Bélgica, o Kroonland passou a fazer rotas alternativas. Em uma viagem ao Mediterrâneo em outubro de 1914, o Kroonland foi detido pelas autoridades britânicas em Gibraltar, e parte de sua carga foi confiscada em meio a disputas diplomáticas entre os então neutros Estados Unidos e o Reino Unido. Durante uma circunavegação fretada da América do Sul em fevereiro de 1915, o Kroonland se tornou o maior navio de passageiros até hoje a transitar pelo Canal do Panamá. O Kroonland foi colocado na linha Nova York - Canal do Panamá - San Francisco, até que um deslizamento de terra fechou temporariamente o canal. De volta ao serviço transatlântico, o Kroonland foi um dos primeiros navios dos EUA armados pela Marinha para defesa contra ataques de submarinos alemães. Em maio de 1917, o Kroonland foi atingido por um torpedo que não detonou, causando apenas danos menores ao navio. Após a entrada dos Estados Unidos na Primeira Guerra Mundial, o Kroonland serviu como para o Exército e a Marinha dos EUA. O navio fez seis viagens transportando tropas até a França antes do armistício e mais oito viagens posteriormente, transportando quase 38.000 soldados no total. Retornada à IMM no final de 1919, o Kroonland ardeu em um incêndio no estaleiro em janeiro de 1920 enquanto estava sendo convertido para o serviço de passageiros. O navio retomou o serviço no Atlântico Norte em abril, permanecendo lá até retornar ao trajeto Nova York - San Francisco em 1923. O Kroonland inaugurou o trajeto de inverno Nova York - Miami da IMM de dezembro de 1925 a março de 1926, mas aportou em Hoboken, Nova Jersey, quando a IMM não retomou a rota de Miami no ano seguinte. O navio foi vendido e desmantelado em Gênova em 1927. (pt)
