[The Illustrated London News]
The eldest of three sisters -- Minnehaha and Minnetonka  were the others -- Minneapolis made her maiden voyage, Belfast-New York-London on 10 May 1900.
 
She then entered Atlantic Transport Company's regular London-New York service. Taken over as a troop transport when World War I began, Minneapolis sank in the Mediterranean northeast of Malta on 23 March 1916, two days after being torpedoed by U 35. There were 12 fatalities among the 189 people on board.
