This is a view of the transport MOBILE.
She was originally a British liner. After the Spanish American War she was
retained by the Army and renamed U.S.A.T SHERMAN. In 1922 she was bought
by the Los Angeles Steamship Company, and rebuilt as a cabin liner for the
Los Angeles -Hawaii service. The company renamed her the CALAWAII. She
steamed successfully as the running mate of CITY OF LOS ANGELES (the
previously intended running mate, CITY OF HONOLULU, sank on it's first
voyage!) MOBILE
was withdrawn and broken up in Japan 1933
