SS Umbria Enviable Record
This vessel has a record that is indeed enviable, and her reputation as an "ocean greyhound" has been well sustained. This remarkable racer in thirteen westward trips made an average passage of 6 days, 16 hours and 36 minutes. In twelve eastward trips she accomplished the runs on an average of 6 days, 10 hours and 7 minutes. The average speed per hour during this time going to the westward 17.67 knots, and to the eastward 18.55 knots. The Umbria's fastest August record was a little over 6 days, 12 hours.
