	Volturno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Volturno (ancient Latin name Volturnus, from volvere, to roll) is a river in south-central Italy.
		Piedmontese and Garibaldi's troops inflicted on the Neapolitan forces at the Battle of the Volturno, on October 1 and 2, a defeat which led to the fall of Capua.
		The Volturno also gave its name to the Volturno Line, a German defensive position in Italy during World War II.

	From the Volturno to the Winter Line: Moving to the Volturno
		The rugged mountains are a formidable obstacle to the movement of troops, and the Volturno and Calore rivers reinforce the barrier.
		The two remaining divisions of the corps were to cross the Volturno on a 15-mile front between the junction of the rivers and the Triflisco Gap.
		The valley down which the 45th Division had to advance some fifteen miles to reach the Volturno is a corridor four to five miles wide, bounded on the north by the towering peaks of the Matese range and on the south by the Mount Taburno hill mass.

	Volturno Datapage 01 - Main page with Index etc
		The Volturno that concerns us was a twin screw, triple expansion engined steam ship, designed as a cargo ship but used as a passenger liner, that plied the seas between Europe and the United States with its cargo of immigrants from Eastern Europe and Russia.
		Unless, that is, the fact that the Volturno is a major river (in the Italian context) of the Naples area of Italy and that a steamship company from Naples (Navigazione Italo-Americano) had it built in the first place is explanation enough.
		If you go here, and type in 'is exactly' Volturno as the ship name, you come to a Volturno page with some manifests at the bottom of the list with dates in 1921 and 1924.

		With the exception of the Volturno, the Sele, the Bradano, the Basento, and the Sinni, none of the streams of Southern Italy deserve the name of river; they have the nature rather of torrents, especially those of Calabria which, when running full, are very destructive.
		The principal rivers of Southern Italy are: the Volturno (115 miles) which rises at Capo d'Acqua, on Mt. Rocchetta, with a considerable volume of water, receives the Vandra that flows from the plain of Carovilli, increased by the waters of the Cavaliere, on the banks of which stands Isernia.
		It receives the Calore River which flows into the Volturno at almost right angles, while the latter, turning to the west, flows through the Caiazzo Pass and opens onto the plain at Capua, with a breadth of about 500 feet, and from there on it is navigable as far as the sea (17½ miles).

	Volturno Datapage 12 - Leslie's October 23 and 30, 1913 issues
		The past week the large ocean-going liner Volturno - of a foreign Society in spite of the Italian name - was abandoned while en route from Rotterdam to New York, with a cargo of emigrants, under the command of captain Inch.
		The 657 passengers who were asleep at the time were woken up and assembled wrapped in blankets, while the radio officers sent SOS messages seeking aid since the fire had assumed frightful proportions and the crew lacked the ability to tame it.
		The Italian caption of the next image reads: 'Il transatlantico 'Volturno' incendiatosi nell'Atlantico con parte dei passeggeri', which essentially means in English, I believe: 'The ocean-going liner 'Volturno', which burned, with passengers aboard, in the Atlantic'.
