Illustrated and has photos throughout. Nice piece of history. VERY RARE. Have only seen reference to a couple others and they are in libraries and not for sale.The German Passenger Liner SS König Wilhelm II was seized by the United States and was turned over to the Navy and commissioned on 27 August 1917 as USS König Wilhelm II. Her name was changed to USS Madawaska on 1 September 1917 and she later received the identification number 3011. She was transferred to the War Department in September 1919 and subsequently served as USAT Madawaska, USAT U.S. Grant and, after 1941, USS U.S. Grant

Questions? Please ask before offerding. It is used, but it\'s in good condition. NO RETURNS.
PLEASE NOTE: lost the whole real sale atmosphere a long time ago and has become a giant garage sale for the most part...hagglers included. I\'ve set my prices for a reason, and unless I choose to include the \'best offer\' option, I cannot accept them. Please do not contact me asking me to lower the price.
Are you a curiosity watcher? \"Are you kidding me; 15 watchers, and not one buyer?\" That was my mantra for quite awhile, until I got tired of asking after about the one hundredth time. Hey, I get it. It\'s not like the old days when people offer early and battled it out for the win in the end. The whole \'sniper\' technique has taken the fun out of real offerding and has forced sellers to start their opening price higher, or overcharge on shipping because they realize if 10 watchers all try to get a offer in at once, they\'ll be lucky to get an extra $2.00 out of it. So yes, I know why some people watch an sale item (still doesn\'t explain why some items have 10-15 watchers and not one offer), but what I don\'t understand is why so many people watch a BUY IT NOW item for 30 days and still don\'t buy it. Whatever the reason, it\'s annoying. Foremost, seeing watchers gets our hopes up, only to be let down. It\'s called BUY IT NOW for a reason. You either want it or you don\'t. If you\'re using the watch feature as a bookmark, fine, but if you decide you don\'t want it, have the common courtesy of unwatching it. And if you are watching in hopes the price will go down...it\'s unlikely it will, and you\'re risking the fact that someone else will buy it...your loss.
