My collection of post cards of ships was improved recently with those two vintage cards of the American passenger liners LEVIATHAN, the flagship of the United States merchant marine after WW1.Built for Hamburg's HAPAG as VATERLAND, she was seized by the USA in New York on WW1 and used as a trooper before being refited after the war for passenger service in the North Atlantic. She was the largest ship afloat for a time and she became one of Frank Braynard's passions.
Frank was a wonderful and generous friend and gave us all his six volumes - 1 million words - book on the LEVIATHAN. This post is for him where ever he is now...
