The _Leviathan_ cleared Ambrose Channel on May 27th at 6:56 P. M. and arrived June 11, at 3.00 A. M., or in a total elapsed time of only 15 days 8 hours and 4 minutes. Her best previous trip was when she did the same circuit in 15 days 15 hours and 3 minutes, sailing on May 6th and next arriving at Ambrose Lightship on May 22nd. Previous to this, her two best round trips were those of June and July, 1918, when the pressure of troop movement to France was at its height. These two trips were negotiated in 16 days 0 hours and 23 minutes, and 16 days 12 hours and 12 minutes respectively. Not only has the _Leviathan_ carried in the 15th and 16th trips a total of 28,412 persons against 26,145 for her two best previous trips, but her intervening stays in Hoboken between her last two trips was only 4 days, while the Hoboken layover between her two best former trips was seven days. Besides this record breaking showing, the boys of the _Leviathan_ found enough cash to subscribe $193,000 to Uncle Sam’s Victory Loan while the Navy’s next best ship could only put up $129,000. The 17th round trip established a new record of 14 days and 21 hours, when she carried 4,000 Army Officers and 3,000 troops, after a stay of 40 hours in Brest, coaling (4,500 tons) and watering (3,000 tons). On her 19th trip westbound, she carried General John J. Pershing and his famous composite regiment selected from the entire A. E. F. While under the German flag, the _Vaterland_ (_Leviathan_) made only one round trip and a half. She was ready for her return trip August 1, 1914, but was held at Hoboken when the world war broke out, July 30 of that year. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of History of the U. S. S.
