    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_United_States "SS United States is a retired ocean liner built in 1950–51 for the United States Lines at a cost of US$79.4 million. The ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the United States and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction, retaining the Blue Riband for the highest average speed since her maiden voyage in 1952. She was designed by American naval architect William Francis Gibbs and could be converted into a troopship if required by the Navy in time of war. United States maintained an uninterrupted schedule of transatlantic passenger service until 1969 and was never used as a troopship." Photos of the ship during construction, launch, and maiden voyage can be seen at www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2015/10/06/business/ss-united-s... The final photograph appears to show the same sort of pier structure as at the right of this photo by Rizzuto. northriversailny.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/new-york-waterw... includes a picture of the SS United States coming in to Pier 86 on the Hudson River in 1952. This page indicates that Pier 86 was used by the United States Lines. It seems likely that this picture shows the SS United States at Pier 86, which was at the end of W 46th Street.

    The US Transport MOUNT VERNON (AP-22) aground at Balmain, Sydney during her arrival from Auckland on 12 October 1942. She was pulled clear by tugs the same day with no apparent damage. Built as the luxury liner SS WASHINGTON she entered service with the United States Lines in 1933. Acquired by the US Navy in June 1941, MOUNT VERNON transported British reinforcements and Hurricane fighters to Singapore in January 1942. A few months later in March she transported over 4,000 Australian troops from Middle East to Australia. Following the war she had a short period back in commercial service between 1947 and 1951 before being laid up for over a decade until broken up in 1965. Source: Sydney Harbour History/Ash Moore

    Hamburg America Cargo liner behind to left either Hochst or Leuna both built in 1927. It is likely Leuna, as Hochst was lost in 1929.
