WANTED ON VOYAGE: Atlantic Transport Line's s.s. MINNEWASKA (1923) & MINNETONKA (192

I have published my latest monograph on "Wanted on Voyage":

https://wantedonthevoyage.blogspot.c...ewaska-ss.html

On the occasion of the Centenary of the maiden voyage of MINNEWASKA from London KGV Dock to New York on 1 September 1923, this details the rather short and sad story of this pair of splendid sisters that had but ten and nine years active service.

All but forgotten today, they were the largest ships laid down and completed by a British shipyard in the 1920s except for ALCANTARA and ASTURIUS and the largest combination cargo-passenger ships ever built save for DOMINION MONARCH. And the biggest ships to use The Port of London until the first of P&O's "Straths".

Magnificent lookers, too….
