| Notes | The S.S. City of Berlin was a British passenger liner built by Caird & Company in Scotland. She was the Inman Line's premier vessel for thirteen years, and won the Blue Riband for the Inman Line in 1875 as the fastest liner on the Atlantic. She was also the largest passenger ship for six years. The S.S. City of Berlin served the Inman Line until 1893 when Inman was merged into the American Line, and was operated by her new owners on both the American Line and Red Star Line until 1898. In 1895, she and the City of Chester were replaced in the American Line's weekly mail fleet by the new express liners, the St. Louis and the St. Paul. Renamed the S.S. Berlin, she was placed on the Antwerp - New York route for the Red Star Line with occasional sailings for the American Line. In 1898 the S.S. Berlin was sold to the U.S. Government for the Spanish-American War, and was renamed Meade. She trooped to the Philippines until she was damaged by a fire in San Francisco on January 31, 1906. Repaired, she continued service through World War I and was finally scrapped in 1921.[1] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
