The SS Deutschland was a German ocean liner built in 1900 by AG Vulcan Stettin. It was operated by the Hamburg America Line and was one of the largest and fastest liners of its time. The ship had a luxurious interior, accommodating both first and second-class passengers. In 1907, the SS Deutschland made headlines when it collided with the SS Republic off the coast of Nantucket, but managed to stay afloat and make it to New York. During World War I, the ship was interned in the United States and later seized by the U.S. government in 1917. Renamed the USS Powhatan, it served as a troop transport during the war. After the war, the ship was returned to Germany in 1920 and resumed commercial service until it was scrapped in 1925. The SS Deutschland's legacy lives on as a symbol of the golden age of ocean travel and the technological advancements of the early 20th century.
