couple of things to note:
it was small (6500 tons or so)
it was old (originally built in 1914 IIRC - it held the Guinness record for oldest ocean going passenger liner when I was on it) [1]
it had four incarnations - as a cargo ship on the east coast of the US, a pilgrim ship in 1950ish, a luxury cruise liner for the Italians from the 50s and the bookship I worked on from 1977 I think.
