SS City of Petersburg

SS City of Petersburg was a cargo and passenger steamship operated by the American-Hawaiian Line in the early 20th century. Named after Petersburg, Virginia, it served routes connecting the U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast, typically carrying goods, mail, and passengers. Built for versatility and reliability, the ship played a role in commercial shipping during its service, helping to facilitate trade and transportation between the mainland United States and other regions. Its operational history reflects the maritime commerce of its time, prior to being decommissioned or replaced by more modern vessels.
