Built at Stettin, Germany
18,026-ton

German passenger steamer Hamburg, which had been caught at New York when World War I began in August 1914
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.
Seized when the United States joined the conflict in April 1917, she was turned over to the Navy for conversion to a transport. Placed in commission as USS Hamburg in August 1917, her name was changed to USS Powhatan, a troop ship in September. The ship's active troop transport service began in November, when she made the first of twelve trans-Atlantic troop-carrying voyages. Up to December 1918, she conveyed more than fifteen-thousand service personnel to the war zone. Powhatan then reversed the process, and brought home nearly twelve-thousand. She was decommissioned in September 1919 and turned over to the Army Transportation Service. She later had merchant service under the names Hudson and President Fillmore
