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.

The Folks Behind the GG Archives

The GG Archives is the work and passion of two people, Paul Gjenvick, a professional archivist, and Evelyne Gjenvick, a curator. Paul earned a Masters of Archival Studies - a terminal degree from Clayton State University in Georgia, where he studied under renowned archivist Richard Pearce-Moses. Our research into the RMS Laconia and SS Bergensfjord, the ships that brought two members of the Gjønvik family from Norway to the United States in the early 20th century, has helped us design our site for other genealogists. The extent of original materials at the GG Archives can be very beneficial when researching your family's migration from Europe.
