I have published my latest monograph on “Wanted on Voyage”

“Favored, Fated & Flawed: s.s. MOMUS, ANTILLES & CREOLE”

https://wantedonthevoyage.blogspot.com/2024/09/favored-fated-flawed-ss-momus-antilles.html

This details the careers of the largest trio of liners ever built for a U.S. coastal service, that from New York to New Orleans, operated by Southern Pacific Steamships (“The Morgan Line”): MOMUS (1906-1933) and ANTILLES )1907-1917), built by Cramps of Philadelphia; and CREOLE (1907-1933) built by Fore River Shipyard, Quincy, the latter famous for being the first American-built twin-screw turbine liner and unsuccessful as such and re-engined in 1910… a saga that will be recounted in some detail for those interested.

Peter Kohl, what a great history of a little known or discussed segment of Southern Pacific! You did a fantastic job! Thank-you!
