If anyone has a copy of the September 1967 edition of Sea Breezes magazine that has an article on the history of the ship (mentioned here). Mjroots (talk) 10:12, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My grandmother's biography indicates she was on the maiden voyage of SS Letitia circa May 1 1912 from Glasgow to Newfoundland. The smell of the fresh paint made her sick for the entire crossing. The trip was the first passenger sailing after the sinking of the Titanic.

Present information on Wikipedia indicates a 1924 commissioning date for the SS Letitia. Can anyone help with the discrepancy?
