Hi,
this is the SS Konstantin Velichkov, the third ship of the Bulgarian Big Four. It is named after famed Bulgarian politician and writer Konstantin Velichkov (1855-1907).
The ship was the longest-lasting out of the quartet. She was in construction from 1906, and her maiden voyage was on the 3rd of November 1909 - exactly 2 years since her namesake's death. The ship was, at 238m, 7 meters longer than her two older sisters, and had visible external modifications compared to them. Some of the interiors were updated, such as the first class dining room, and the lounge (which recieved an actual dome). Propulsion remained the same. The ship was used as a troopship in WW1, and during the interwar years ran along with SS Bratya Miladinovi along her usual transatlantic route, transporting less financially capable passengers. At the start of hostilities in 1939, she was caught right before a return voyage and remained in the US for the duration of the war. She was used as a troopship once more, and was used to transport soldiers until 1946. Being useless as a liner both in Bulgaria and the US Shipping Board, she was decommissioned and scrapped in 1953 after 7 years of disuse.
