The President Warfield was named after Solomon Davies Warfield, owner of the Baltimore Steam Packet Company. The ship, on changing her name to Exodus 1947, became a symbol that shook the British empire.
Warfield's niece Bessie Wallis Warfield (Mrs Wallis) shook the British empire to its foundations when she married Edward VIII of England. He abdicated his throne.
