The
SS
Columbus
, was a German
ocean liner
laid down
before the start of
World War I
. The vessel was originally to be named
Hindenburg
. However, her then-
sister
, originally named
Columbus
, was handed over to British government and then sold to the
White Star Line
after the war as part of
reparations
in 1920. The
Allies
allowed the
Norddeutscher Lloyd
(NDL), her owners, to keep the remaining ship. NDL decided to give her the name of her departed sister, now the British
Homeric
. Construction, which had been held up by the war, resumed at
Schichau Shipyards
in
Danzig
,
Germany
.
