Troop Transport USS Aeolus pictured in dry dock at Brooklyn Navy Yard on June 1st 1918...Formerly the North German Lloyd Liner SS Grosser Kurfürst, launched in 1899 she sailed regularly between Bremen and New York. At the outset of World War I the ship was interned by the US and, when the U.S. entered the conflict in 1917, was seized and converted to a Troop Transport. She carried almost 25,000 men to France during the hostilities, and returned over 27,000 healthy and wounded men after the Armistice. After decommissioning by the U.S.N, the ship was turned over to the United States Shipping Board and underwent a $3,000,000 refit in Baltimore, Maryland, and was transferred to the Munson Steamship Line for whom she carried passengers and freight to and from South American ports as SS Aeolus. In 1922 the ship was assigned to the Los Angeles Steamship Co. and renamed SS City of Los Angeles and sailed to and from Los Angeles and Honolulu. In 1937, she was sold for scrapping in Japan.
