USS President Lincoln-- Part 4: What Was Its German Name?

From the Wrecksite Site.

Since the President Lincoln was a German ship before being seized by the United States, I was wondering what its German name was.  I couldn't find mention of it, though, until I got to this site.

It was launched in 1903 as the Scotian for Wilson's & Furness-Leyland Line, but the order was cancelled.  It was later purchased by the Hamburg-American Line and the name changed to Berlin in 1907.  Later, it became the President Wilson, then the President Lincoln.

So, the ship's German name was the SS President Lincoln..
