SS Washingtonian (1913) [SEP] Introduction
SS "Washingtonian" was a cargo ship launched in 1913 by the Maryland Steel Company of Sparrows Point, Maryland, near Baltimore, as one of eight sister ships for the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company. At the time of her launch, she was the largest cargo ship under American registry. During the United States occupation of Veracruz in April 1914, "Washingtonian" was chartered by the United States Department of the Navy for service as a non-commissioned refrigerated supply ship for the U.S. fleet stationed off the Mexican coast. In January 1915, after a little more than one year of service, "Washingtonian" collided with the schooner "Elizabeth Palmer" off the Delaware coast and sank in ten minutes with the loss of her $1,000,000 cargo of of raw Hawaiian sugar.
