Menominee - ex Alexandra

Red Star Line steamship built 1897 at Glasgow by Alexander Stephen and Sons. This ship was originally launched as the "Alexandra" for the Wilson's & Furness-Leyland line, but the ship was purchased by the Atlantic Transport Line 1898 and was subsequently renamed "Menominee" and placed on the London - New York service. She was an identical sister of the "Victoria" which was also purchased by the A.T.L and renamed "Manitou". Chartered by the Red Star Line 1902 for the Antwerp to Philadelphia service. Old postcard.
