Lot Essay

The steamship Carolina, built in 1895 in Newport News for the Plant Investment Co., was originally christened La Grande Duchesse. Between 1901 and 1906 the vessel ran service between New York and Charleston, South Carolina for the Ocean Steamship Co. under the name City of Savannah. In 1906 she was sold to the New York and Porto Rico Steamship Co. and renamed the Carolina. She was one of six vessels sunk by the German submarine U-151 on "Black Sunday," June 2, 1918 off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
