    I believe the spelling in the photo's caption is "Capt. Von Krosigk".

    Wonder if he's any relation to this man? The wiki makes mention of the Iron Cross award en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutz_Schwerin_von_Krosigk

    There was also a Capt. von Krosigk who was a Prussian army officer who was murdered in 1901. Two sergeants were accused of killing him. The New York Times referred to it as "a German Dreyfus case" query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E04E3D9143FE433A... I can't find a photo though so not sure if its the right guy.

    There was a German naval officer named Capt. Krosigk also, who visited New York commanding the Stettin in 1912. KAISER'S WARSHIPS SAIL TO VISIT US; Kiel Cheers the Departing Battleship-Cruiser Moltke and Germany's Pride Goes with It. Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES. May 12, 1912, Sunday query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C07E6DB103AE633A... In 1911 (the previous year) there is mention of an Admiral von Krosigk here: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9903E4D61131E233A...

    Thank you. Looks like "Capt. Von Krosigk" to me too. Will submit for correction.

    Given the year, would it be this George Washington?

    Ocean Liner George Washington (1909-1917 - 25,570 gross tons) of Norddeutsche Lloyd (NDL) (North German Lloyd) www.simplonpc.co.uk/NDL2.html
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    Photo is marked 3/7/11. Washington Post from March 7, 1911 lists the George Washington arriving in Bremen, Germany from New York. New York Times from February 25, 1911 lists George Washington as sailing at 10am that morning. Guess is that the story ran on 3/7/1911, but the photo was taken on 2/25/1911.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks! We'll fix the date information in the source data and reload the description.

    SS George Washington was an ocean liner built in 1908 for the Bremen-based North German Lloyd and was named after George Washington, the first President of the United States. The ship was also known as USS George Washington (ID-3018) and USAT George Washington in service of the United States Navy and United States Army, respectively, during World War I. In the interwar period, she reverted to her original name of SS George Washington. During World War II, the ship was known as both USAT George Washington and, briefly, as USS Catlin (AP-19), in a short, second stint in the U.S. Navy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_George_Washington_(1908)
