Two groups of expectant travelers are watching The Leviathan being guided into port by tugboats. Originally a German ship named The Vaterland, she was seized during World War I and renamed The Leviathan. Though not in fact "The largest ship in the world," (she was second to White Star's Majestic,) the ship was a headline-maker and was considered to be one of the best-known liners in the western world.
