en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Paris_(1916) "The SS Paris was a French ocean liner built in Saint-Nazaire, France for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique. The French Line's Paris was built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique of St. Nazaire. Although Paris was laid down in 1913, her launching was delayed until 1916, and she was not completed until 1921, due to World War I. When Paris was finally completed, she was the largest liner under the French flag, at 34,569 tons."

The liner Paris arrived in New York on her maiden run from Le Havre on June 21, 1921, s. New-York tribune., June 23, 1921, Page 3, col. 5 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1921-06-23/ed-...

Thanks, swanq and B-59 . We will add some of these details to the catalog record.

American Line's SS Philadelphia arrived in New York from Liverpool on Feb. 22, 1917, particularly newsworthy in light of heightened tensions with Germany and the break in diplomatic relations: "The American liner Philadelphia, the only passenger vessel flying the American flag to risk a trip across the Atlantic since the German submarine decree became effective, arrived at her pier at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon with 243 passengers on board."
