Name s/b MILAZZO for this and other photos in this series. SS Milazzo was an Italian bulk carrier built in 1916 and sunk during World War I. When she entered service, Milazzo was reported as the largest collier and also the largest cargo ship in the world. She was designed with a unique railcar and elevator system that helped to automate the discharge of cargo. [1]

Pixel Wrangler That Wikipedia link needs some repair. Looks like Milazzo arrived in NY on July 1, 1916 on her maiden voyage.

Thanks to both of you for the information, and spelling correction. We'll make the changes to the records the next time we update.

She was great. The Italian steamer SS Milazzo, the largest cargo ship and the largest collier in the world at the time of her construction in 1916. She was sunk by Austro-Hungarian submarine U-14 in August 1917.
