POLITICO.com – On this day in 1918, (December 4), President Woodrow Wilson departed from Washington to embark on the first European trip by an American chief executive.

After nine days at sea aboard the S.S. George Washington, a German-built passenger liner interned in New York at the start of World War I, Wilson arrived in Brest, France, and traveled to Paris. There, at the Palace of Versailles, a magnificent chateau 12 miles southwest of the French capital, Wilson headed the American delegation at a peace conference charged with drafting a comprehensive treaty that would mark the end of the war

This postcard was written by Fritz Marhimer to his father, Mr. T.H. Marhimer, of Brantwood, Wisconsin.

About Brantwood, WI

Brantwood is an unincorporated community in southern Price County, Wisconsin, United States located within the town of Knox. It lies along United States Highway 8 and on the Wisconsin Central Railroad, between Prentice on the west and Tomahawk on the east. The rural community was settled in the late 1890s as a logging community.Wikipedia

Dear Father –

This is a picture of the ship where I have made my home for the past two months.
This ship is 503 feet long, weights 14,000 tons empty.
This ship has made 9 trips so far and now she is nearly finished as a transport.
It carries 2,500 bunks.
Your Son,
Fritz.

TFM Analysis – After extensive review of the image of the ship contained on the cover of the postcard and the description of the trips made as a transport ship, TFM has concluded the ship is most likely the USS Washington, later renamed the USS Seattle, which was one of four armoured cruisers built as part of the Tennessee Class during the first decade of the twentieth century.
