The title LEVIATHAN most likely refers to the ocean liner of that name, which was the German ship *Vaterland* until the United States seized it in 1917 and refitted it as a troop transport. The record does not confirm the subject, because the title comes from unverified Bain News Service notes and no date is given. Bain's agency sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the picture most likely reflects the heavy shipping and wartime news of that era.
