The Pennsylvania class steamships Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois were a class of four cargo-passenger liners built by the Philadelphian shipbuilder William Cramp & Sons in 1872-73. Intended for the newly established American Line, the four ships were at the time the largest iron ships yet built in the United States, and were launched with considerable fanfare. Upon entering service in 1874, they also became the first American-built steamships to challenge British dominance of the transatlantic trade since the American Civil War.
