Leviathan, Cruiser and Transport Forces, United States" by Adele M. Marshall is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the remarkable journey and contributions of the U.S.S. Leviathan during World War I, detailing its transformation from the German ship Vaterland into a crucial transport vessel for American troops. The book delves into the ship's logistics, operational achievements, and the spirit of the Navy personnel who manned her. The opening of the book sets the stage with a poetic tribute to the Leviathan, an acknowledgment of the ship’s formidable presence on the seas and her pivotal role in wartime service. It describes her seizure by the United States in 1917 and highlights how the ship was quickly fitted for naval duty. Detailed accounts of its voyages reveal the challenges faced, including navigating the perilous submarine-infested waters of the Atlantic while transporting thousands of soldiers to and from Europe. This segment establishes the vessel's significance as well as the dedication and resilience of her crew, laying the groundwork for a deeper exploration of her history throughout the text.
