Biographical or Historical Note

The S. S. Mongolia, originally built for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company as a passenger-cargo liner for the San Francisco-Far East service. She figured in World War I when, outfitted with self-defense armament, was the first to test the German naval blockade after U. S. entry into the war in action off Beachy Head, England. She spent the next year ferrying troops under a civilian flag. She was purchased in 1923 by the Panama Pacific Line and placed into service on its New York-San Francisco route (via the Panama Canal). In 1929, Dollar Steamship Lines acquired Mongolia and her sister ship Manchuria for its east-to-west round-the-world service, renaming them President Fillmore and President Johnson, respectively. The former Mongolia sailed for only two years with the Dollar Line. With the onset of the Great Depression, she was laid up in New York, and when the Dollar Line collapsed in 1938 ownership passed to the newly created American President Lines. She never sailed under the APL pennant, however, and was sold in 1940 to Cia Transatlantica Centroamericana of Panama, which renamed her Panamanian. She was scrapped in Shanghai, China, 20 May 1946.
