Back to Guion Line.

The Arizona (5,147 grt, 465 ft. long) sailed on her maiden voyage for the Guion Line in 1879.
That same year she not only broke the trans-Atlantic speed record but also collided with an iceberg,
though managed to stay afloat and reach St. John's, where temporary repairs were carried out.
She continued on the New York run until the line ceased operations in 1894.
She was later used by the U.S. Navy and only broken up in 1926.
