The R.M.S HOMERIC brought Sam to the U.S. in 1923 from Cherbourg, France. Here's some history of that ship:

The HOMERIC was launched in December, 1913 from the F. Schihau yard in Danzig, originally named the Columbus for the Norddeutscher Lloyd ship line. When WWI broke out in 1914, finishing work was suspended. She was given to Britain under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and the White Star Line bought her in 1920.

She was finished in Germany under the supervision of Harland and Wolff and arrived in Britain on January 31, 1922 and renamed the HOMERIC.

On 15 February 1922, she started her first voyage from Southampton to Cherbourg, France to New York. Though she was the slowest of the 3 ships running this route, she was noted for her steadiness on the water. In late 1923 she was converted from coal to oil burning and her speed increased, but was still considered too slow for the trans Atlantic route. In 1928, the company announced the building of the Oceanic to replace her and she made her last ocean crossing in June, 1932.
