About the author

This credited author was the History Committee on board the U.S.S. Leviathan, the former German liner Vaterland that served the United States during World War I. The committee compiled material from the ship's log and other information gathered aboard the vessel, creating a record of the Leviathan's service in the Atlantic Fleet.

Their best-known work, History of the U.S.S. Leviathan, Cruiser and Transport Forces, United States Atlantic Fleet, is less a personal memoir than a collective documentary account. It reflects the voices, observations, and official memory of people connected with the ship, giving readers a close look at troop transport duty, life at sea, and the scale of the Leviathan's wartime role.

Because this was a committee credit and not an individual author, there does not appear to be a single personal biography or confirmed portrait associated with the name. What remains most important is the committee's effort to preserve a primary-source history of a remarkable ship and the people who served on it.
