June 1914. Here is a photo of Roosevelt with Harry Houdini on board: www.examiner.com/ny-in-new-york/houdini-and-theodore-roos... Roosevelt was recovering from malaria at the time and still had a bullet in his chest from an assassination attempt a couple years earlier. The Imperator was plagued by stability problems, fires, an overly complicated propulsion system, and a four year layup during WWI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Imperator

The unstoppable TR occupied the royal (or imperial) suite on the German ship, Imperator, returning from a quickie trip to Europe. (The Imperator docked at Hoboken, NJ, on June 24, 1914.) Earlier in the year, Roosevelt had returned from an arduous trip through South America, where he had nearly died while exploring the Amazon jungle.
