SS Caserta

Passenger and Ocean Liner Vessels

SS Caserta was an Italian ocean liner named for the city of Caserta in Campania, previously known as Maritzburg and Mendoza and later renamed Venezuela. A ship of 6,847 gross register tons, she was built in 1904 by Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whitworth and Company of Newcastle upon Tyne as Maritzburg for the Bucknall Line, sold to Lloyd Italiano in 1905 and renamed Mendoza, and renamed Caserta in 1914. She served the New York route and carried Italian reservists in the First World War. From May 1918 she was chartered as a United States troop transport in the Cruiser and Transport Force, making five convoy voyages to Europe. Renamed Venezuela in 1923 for La Veloce's South American service, she reverted to Navigazione Generale Italiana control in 1924 and was scrapped in 1928.
