USS Powhatan (ID # 3013), 1917-1919. Originally S.S. Hamburg (German Passenger Liner, 1899). Later named Red Cross, Hudson and President Fillmore USS Powhatan, a 18,026-ton troop transport, was originally the German passenger steamer Hamburg, which had been built in 1899 at Stettin, Germany. Caught at New York when World War I began in August 1914, she was soon chartered by the American Red Cross to take medical personnel and supplies to Europe. Renamed Red Cross, she left New York in mid-September and called at Falmouth, England; Paulliac, France; and Rotterdam, The Netherlands, before recrossing the Atlantic in October with American refugees on board. She remained at New York for the next two and a half years. Also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Powhatan_(ID-3013) On the "Red Cross":
