Steamship Kaiserin Auguste Victoria - (1905 - 1931)
The steamship Kaiserin Auguste Victoria was built as the Europa in Stettin, Germany and launched 29 August 1905 as the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria. The 24,581-ton vessel had a length of 677.5 feet, and her beam was 77.3 feet. She had two funnels, four masts, twin propellers, and an average speed of 18 knots. The ocean liner provided accommodation for 472 first-class passengers and for 174 second class passengers. There was room for 212 third-class passengers and for 1,608 fourth-class passengers. At the time of her launch, she was the largest passenger ship in the world. She operated under the German flagged Hamburg America Line in the trans-Atlantic trade from the spring of 1906 until World War I broke out in early August 1914. During the conflict the ship was laid up at Hamburg and, after the fighting ended, she was allocated to Great Britain and then chartered for use by the U.S. Navy. Commissioned in February 1919, Kaiserin Auguste Victoria made five voyages from France to the United States, bringing home American service personnel. This work ended in August 1919. The ship was decommissioned in December 1919 and returned to the British. Following brief service with the Cunard Line, she was sold to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, who renamed her Empress of Scotland and employed her for the rest of the decade. Her final commercial voyage took place in the fall of 1930. She was sold for scrap in December 1930 to Hughes, Bolkow & Co. On 12 December 1930 she burned and sank in the Hughes, Bolkow yard at Blyth, UK. She was raised in May 1931 and completely dismantled by October 1931. The picture above is from her time as the Empress of Scotland. |
