The SS Georgia was a steamship built in 1908 as part of the fleet of the Ocean Steamship Company. Originally designed for passenger and cargo transport between New York and Savannah, the ship was later used for cruises to the West Indies. During World War I, the SS Georgia was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy and used as a troop transport vessel. Following the war, the ship resumed its commercial operations before being sold to a Greek shipping company in the 1930s. Renamed the SS Kymi, the vessel continued to operate until it was scrapped in 1953. The SS Georgia had a long and varied career, transitioning from civilian use to military service and back again, highlighting its adaptability and endurance as a seafaring vessel.
