DescriptionSS Paris at Wilton in 1926 by Gompers SHI001009706.jpg
English: In August 1926 the French ocean liner SS Paris came to Wilton's Machinefabriek en Scheepswerf in Schiedam to dock in the 46.000 tons 'Pola-dok' for repairs. The almost new ship had hit a quay in Cherbourg, suffering major damage. Wilton guaranteed the shortest repair time and got the order. At the time 'SS Paris' was the biggest ship ever to steam up the Nieuwe Waterweg .
Nederlands: In augustus 1926 werd het Franse passagiersschip, de s.s. Paris naar N.V. Wilton's Machinefabriek en Scheepswerf (zoals het bedrijf toen nog heette) in Schiedam gesleept om daar te dokken in het 46.000 tons 'Pola-dok' voor een reparatie. Het vrijwel nieuwe schip was in Cherbourg tegen een kademuur gevaren en beschadigd. Wilton garandeerde de snelste reparatietijd en verwierf de opdracht. De 'Paris' was het grootste schip dat totdan de Nieuwe Waterweg en Nieuwe Maas bevoer.
