Information for Passengers
An Bord befindet sich ein Deutsch - Amerikanisches See Postamt.
Important Passengers attention is called to the ships rules and regulations, a copy of which will be found in each cabin.
Passengers are requested to inquire for their Mail at the Information office.
Safe deposit boxes.
A complete safe deposit system, comprising about 150 steel boxes, similar to those found in banks, has been installed on steamers "Kaiserin Auguste Victoria" and "Amerika". One box will be assigned to each suite on the steamer and the remainder will be assigned to Passengers upon application to the Purser free of charge. To insure the safety of valuables, each depositor receives a check for identification.
Travel and Information Office.
On the Roosevelt-Deck of the S. S. Amerika an Inquiry Office of the Passenger-Department has been established. This Office furnishes information to Passengers concerning the railings of our steamers, the railway services from port of arrival into the interior, the Pleasure and Health Cruises arranged by the Hamburg - American Line and the various personally Conducted Tours managed by the Company's Tourist Office (Reisebureau der Hamburg-Amerika Linie).
It also provides information with regard to the despatch of baggage, customhouse arrangements and other questions which are of importance to travelers. At the Inquiry Office, tickets are issued for the return-passage either from or to America, for the other regular services of the Hamburg America Line and for Pleasure and Health Cruises, as well as for Conducted Tours on shore. The Inquiry Office is the place where the letters and telegrams arriving on board for Passengers are kept and delivered.
The Information Office has also full control of all matters relating to change of staterooms, as well as charge of all unoccupied cabins.
The Marconi Wireless Telegraph Service.
The Marconi Station on board is almost daily in communication with any part of the world either directly through the shore-stations, or indirectly by means of passing ships. The names of the shore-stations and of the ships with which communication is expected during the day are posted every morning in different parts of the ship.
The Hamburg America Line is not responsible for the transmission of the telegrams.
Passengers and their friends are informed that an office of „La Compagnie Française maritime et coloniale de Telegraphie sans fil" has been opened in Paris at 35 Boulevard des Capucines (opposite Rue Scribe) for the special purpose of accepting wireless messages for transmission through Marconi Coast Stations to Passengers on steamers fitted with Marconi apparatus.
All information regarding tariffs and rates can be obtained on application to the Marconi Station on Board, which is situated on the Sonnendeck, or in one of the following offices:
- London W. C., Watergate House, Adelphi: The Marconi International Marine Communication Co. Ltd
- Brüssel, 19 Rue Br&'erode: La Compagnie de Télégraphie sans fil
- Rom, 47 Via Lombardia: Compagnia Internazionale Marconi per le comunicazioni marittime
The telegrams from shore to ship should be addressed as follows and must reach in good time the shore stations from which they will be transmitted to the ships:
- Name of passenger
- Name of ship preceded by the word "steamer"
- Telegraphic address of the shore station by the intermediary of which the telegram is to be forwarded
Names of the wireless Stations: Cuxhaven, Norddeich, Borkum, Scheveningen (Netherlands), North Foreland (near Dover), Niton (Isle of Wight), Lizard (England), Crookhaven, (Ireland).
