SS Finland (American Passenger Steamship, 1902)
Underway in a U.S. harbor, prior to World War I.
After service as an Army-chartered transport in 1917, this ship
was acquired by the Navy on 24 April 1918 and placed in commission
as USS Finland two days later. She was decommissioned
and returned to the Army on 15 November 1919. At some point during
or shortly after her Navy service she was assigned the registry
ID # 4543.
