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

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.

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)

Brilliant photography, excellent shot. I like the use of light and the DoF. The colors are perfect. This has been a great day for the US and there will be one more tomorrow. Please comment on my pics, too. Gina from Germany
