Suevic was not often seen in New York Harbor; in fact, as far as I know she only sailed here once, arriving on 21 August 1901, about five months after her maiden voyage to Australia. This article appeared the day after her arrival.

New White Star Liner Here
---
A new White Star liner, the Suevic, commanded by Capt. Alford and flying the flag of the British Naval Reserve, arrived here late yesterday afternoon from Liverpool. She brought 127 cabin passengers and general merchandise. She was built for the Australian service, and on the voyage hither was used as an extra ship. She was built by Harland & Wolff at Belfast, measures 12,482 tons gross register, is 565 feet long, 64 feet in breadth, has four masts, and a single smokestack. She is a twin-screw vessel, but is not an express steamship, although supplied with all the modern improvements for ocean travel.
