  • SS George Washington was an ocean liner built in 1908 for the Bremen-based North German Lloyd and was named after George Washington, the first President of the United States. The ship was also known as USS George Washington (ID-3018) and USAT George Washington in service of the United States Navy and United States Army, respectively, during World War I. In the interwar period, she reverted to her original name of SS George Washington. During World War II, the ship was known as both USAT George Washington and, briefly, as USS Catlin (AP-19), in a short, second stint in the U.S. Navy. When George Washington was launched in 1908, she was the largest German-built steamship and the third-largest ship in the world. George Washington was built to emphasize comfort over speed and was sumptuously appointed in her first-class passenger areas. The ship could carry a total of 2,900 passengers, and made her maiden voyage in January 1909 to New York. In June 1911, George Washington was the largest ship to participate in the Coronation Fleet Review by the United Kingdom's newly crowned king, George V. On 14 April 1912, George Washington passed a particularly large iceberg south of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and radioed a warning to all ships in the area, including White Star Line ocean liner Titanic, which sank near the same location. Throughout her German passenger career, contemporary news accounts often reported on notable persons—typically actors, singers, and politicians—who sailed on George Washington. At the outbreak of World War I, George Washington was interned by the then-neutral United States, until that country entered into the conflict in April 1917. George Washington was seized by the United States and taken over for use as a troop transport by the U.S. Navy. Commissioned as USS George Washington (ID-3018), she sailed with her first load of American troops in December 1917. In total, she carried 48,000 passengers to France, and returned 34,000 to the United States after the Armistice. George Washington also carried U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to France twice for the Paris Peace Conference. George Washington was decommissioned in 1920 and handed over the United States Shipping Board (USSB), who reconditioned her for passenger service. SS George Washington sailed in transatlantic passenger service for both the United States Mail Steamship Company (one voyage) and United States Lines for ten years, before she was laid up in the Patuxent River in Maryland in 1931. During World War II, the ship was re-commissioned by the U.S. Navy as USS Catlin (AP-19) for about six months and was operated by the British under Lend-Lease, but her old coal-fired engines were too slow for effective combat use. After conversion to oil-fired boilers, the ship was chartered to the U.S. Army as USAT George Washington and sailed around the world in 1943 in trooping duties. The ship sailed in regular service to the United Kingdom and the Mediterranean from 1944 to 1947, and was laid up in Baltimore after ending her Army service. A fire in January 1951 damaged the ship severely, and she was sold for scrapping the following month. (en)
  • O SS George Washington foi um transatlântico construído em 1908 pela companhia naval alemã Norddeutscher Lloyd e nomeado em homenagem a George Washington, o primeiro presidente dos Estados Unidos. O navio também era conhecido como USS George Washington (ID-3018) e USAT George Washington quando em serviço pela Marinha e pelo Exército dos Estados Unidos, respe(c)tivamente, durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial. No período entre guerras, ele foi rebatizado com seu nome original, SS George Washington. (pt)
  • 喬治·華盛頓號郵輪（英語：SS George Washington）為德國北德意志-勞埃德公司於1908年建造的遠洋定期船，設籍於不來梅，船名來自美國第一位總統喬治·華盛頓。一次大戰期間，該船曾以USS 喬治·華盛頓（USS George Washington(ID-3018)）和USAT 喬治·華盛頓（USAT George Washington）為名，分別服役於美國海軍和陸軍。戰間期時，它改回到原先的名字繼續運行。二戰期間，它再次受到美國陸軍和海軍的徵召，而海軍則是以美國海軍陸戰隊准將為名，將它命名為USS 凱特林（USS Catlin (AP-19)）。 喬治·華盛頓號郵輪在1908年啟用後，成為了當時德國最大和世界第三大的船隻。喬治·華盛頓郵輪的設計初衷是追求舒適的搭乘環境，因此它的頭等艙相當的奢華，但航速就沒有太大的亮點。喬治華盛頓郵輪最多可乘坐2900人，1909年1月，它從不來梅出發前往紐約，開始了它的處女航。1911年6月，英國喬治五世的海上加冕閱兵中，喬治·華盛頓郵輪是其中最大的船隻。 1912年4月14日，喬治·華盛頓號郵輪在紐芬蘭大淺灘遇到了一座巨大的冰山並警告了附近區域的船隻，包括後來沉沒在附近的白星航運郵輪－鐵達尼號。當時的新聞相當喜愛報導哪些知名歌手、演員或政治家等知名人物搭乘了喬治·華盛頓號郵輪。 一戰爆發後，喬治·華盛頓郵輪被當時保持中立的美國扣押，直到1917年4月美國參戰。喬治·華盛頓號後來被美國政府徵收並交給海軍用做。美國海軍將其命名為USS 喬治·華盛頓號（USS George Washington(ID-3018)）。1917年12月，裝載了美國大兵的USS 喬治·華盛頓號開始了它在美國海軍的生涯。 貢比涅停戰協定後，喬治·華盛頓號總計運送了48,000人前往法國和34,000人回到美國，其中包含美國總統伍德羅·威爾遜。威爾遜曾兩次搭乘喬治·華盛頓號前往法國參加巴黎和會。喬治·華盛頓號在1920年退役，並轉交給使用。委員會將該船改回原先的名字， 並供和從事跨大西洋的載客服務。1931年，從事載客服務十年後，喬治·華盛頓號郵輪被閒置於馬里蘭州的帕塔克森特河。 二戰期間，該船再次被美國海軍徵用，並改名為USS 卡特林（USS Catlin(AP-19)）。之後該船在租借法案之下被租借給英國六個月，但是其老舊的燃煤引擎實在是太慢，難以取得其預估的作戰效益。1943年，換裝成燃油引擎後，該船被租借給了美國陸軍，名為USAT 喬治·華盛頓，在世界各地執行了許多運兵任務。1944－1947年間，它定期航行於英國和地中海，最後在巴爾的摩閒置，結束它在軍中的生涯。1951年1月，喬治·華盛頓號慘遭大火烧毁，一個月後，由於受損嚴重，它被報廢並作為廢鐵出售。 (zh)
