Charles Polack was the captain of the SS Kronprinzessin Cecilie. While steaming toward Germany from America carrying some $10,000,000 in gold and $3,400,000 in silver, he received word of the outbreak of war, and headed back to the United States to avoid capture by the British Navy, and was interned at Bar Harbor, Maine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Kronprinzessin_Cecilie I started a biography of him on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Polack

To whom was he taking the gold? The Rothschilds?

Dazzle Painting! Cool! Neat camo attempt to thwart U-boats, hard to gauge direction and speed due to lack of uniformity in paint....
