SS Columbus

The SS Columbus was a German cargo ship built during World War I, primarily used to transport goods and supplies across the Atlantic. During wartime, it played a strategic role in supporting Germany's logistical needs. After the war, it continued to operate as a commercial vessel. The ship’s significance lies in its role during a major conflict, exemplifying the importance of maritime logistics in wartime efforts. Its design and operations reflect early 20th-century maritime technology, and it serves as an example of how cargo ships contributed to wartime and post-war economies.
