      wow, this must be before she was laid up in Hoboken. She was not officially seized by the United States Shipping Board until the United States entered World War I, 6 April 1917

      Another Bain/LOC photo of Vaterland:

      The Vaterland sailed for Hamburg from New York harbor in May, 1914, with the newlywed Liggetts (tobacco heirs) aboard:

      LIGGETT WEDDED SECRETLY
      The New York Times | May 28, 1914

      Sailed with Bride, Who Was Violet Colby, Actress, on the Vaterland

      It became known yesterday that I among those whose names were not printed on the passenger list of the Vaterland of the Hamburg-American Line when she sailed on Tuesday morning for Hamburg were John E. Liggett of St. Louis and his bride; Violet Colby, an actress, who recently divorced Clarence Harvey, a comedian. Mr. Liggett, who is wealthy, a month ago paid for a suite consisting of two rooms and bath and requested that the name be kept off the list.

      Friends of both Mr. and Mrs. Liggett yesterday said there had been a rumors circulated that they had been married in Asheville, N. C., early in April, but no confirmation could be obtained except that the couple sailed on the Vaterland as Mr. and Mrs. Liggett.

      Mrs. Harvey's decree was confirmed by the Supreme Court of New York in January last, and the first Mrs. Liggett obtained hers in March, with the custody of two children.

      Mrs. Harvey has been living at the Belnord a at Eighty-sixth Street and Broadway, and before her trunks were sent away on Monday she contradicted reports that she was engaged to marry Mr. Liggett or any other man.
