United Steamship Company Limited Company Scandinavia-America Line Only Direct Mail And Passenger-Steamship Connection Between Scandinavia And New York With New, Modern And Extremely Comfortably Furnished Double Propeller-Express-Steamship Oscar II, Holy Olavy, United States And CF Tietgen.

 

The Benefits of Direct Carriage

Scandinavia-America The line carries passengers directly from Scandinavia to New York. This direct promotion with the company's top-class dual-propeller steamer gives the passengers unmistakable benefits, that any further recommendation should be superfluous, which is why Scandinavia-America Iinia also enjoys the greatest confidence and recognition, and occupies the highest rank among these properties, which travels the ocean.

By making the first voyage with Scandinavia-America Linen's comfortable steamer, the passengers avoid all kinds of change during the transfer, an advantage of utmost importance and for Scandinavian emigrants, all use of interpreters is superfluous in all the steamers' crews and staff, including the captain and officers, Scandinavian.

Thus, it is possible for the passengers throughout the entire journey to serve themselves aboard their native language, which in all parts in particular guarantees a comfortable crossing.

 

Scandinavia-America Line

Scandinavia-America Line has employed every shipowner one of the authorities authorized ship physicians, as well as a graduated and experienced nurse accompany.

In all cases of illness, these will provide the passengers with all necessary help free of charge. During the journey, in case of illness, free medicine is also provided to the passengers.

Thus, it would seem striking that no funds are saved from the Line when it comes to ensuring the well-being of passengers during the journey, which will be even more evident from the following.

 

Steamers Equipment and Supply

The steamer equipment and provisioning takes place under the supervision of the authority. In addition, it must be mentioned that both in Copenhagen and later on arrival in Kristiania, each steamer, before the departure is undertaken, is subject to the inspection required by the authorities. which is undertaken by qualified supervisors.

This leaves the passengers for each voyage the most satisfactory guarantee for the Vessel's seaworthiness and material equipment that is possible to provide.

Scandinavia-American Line

Scandinavia-American Line ensures that passengers upon arrival in New York are received by the company's current Scandinavian officials, whose duty it is to guide the passengers and also ensure that the passengers who are provided with a rail ticket to the interior of America are forwarded to their destination.

If passengers, upon arrival in New York, express their wish, Scandinavia-America Lines will be available at the on-site staff, if telegrams are desirable to send to relatives in America, that they may be present at the arrival of the passengers in order to receive them. It should be seen from here that the Scandinavia-American Line shows the greatest possible care for its passengers.

 

The Direct Route

The direct route between Scandinavia and New York is in all respects fully in line with the demands of the time and lives of all Swedes who intend to go to America are preferred as the most convenient. The steamer furnishings throughout with unparalleled pattern love, and this applies to the third class as well.

The solid and excellent Scandinavian diet, of which subsequent excerpts from the food voucher give testimony, causes the passengers at the meals on board to feel as if the food was served to them there at home from their own home-made good in line with what may be required is self-evident, and Linen's well-known reputation is still, as yet, a guarantee for a fast as well as very caring and comfortable promotion across the Atlantic.

Eloquent and Fully Reliable Testimonies

It is obvious that a company such as Scandinavia-Amerika Linien, which occupies a leadership position in the special field: The promotion of emigrants, holds a number of very flattering statements about the excellence of the route and the excellent relationship that prevails aboard its steamboat. These eloquent and fully reliable testimonies are available to anyone at any time who intends to make the trip to America.

 

Every Scandinavian Emigrant

Therefore, any Scandinavian emigrant cannot doubt which line he should use. As irrefutable proof of the line's excellence and of the great sympathy it has embraced in the judgment of the emigrant audience, edge. ex. It is stated that during the years 1903-1911, more than 1/4 million passengers across the Atlantic were transported by the Scandinavian-America Line steamers. These numbers speak a clearer language than many words and should alone constitute a sufficient recommendation.

 

Every Passenger Wants to Use the Scandinavian-America Line's Direct Connection.

Every passenger, who wants a quick and comfortable journey and who wants to make the crossing in the company of fellow countrymen, whose language and customs he is familiar with, and every passenger who wants to maintain his usual good way of life and who do not want the comfort, except which the trip across the Atlantic would only prepare for inconvenience, should, for this reason, use the Scandinavia-America Line's direct connection.

The steamer departs from Copenhagen via Kristiania and Kristiansand to New-York, and the journey from port to port proceeds on a daily basis.

 

Steamers Construction and Furnishing.

The double propeller-Express steamer "Oscar II", "Hellig Olav" and "United States" are sister ships as well as the largest and most powerful passenger steamers in the Nordic and Baltic Sea ports. all the latest improvements and conveniences and all the advances of modern ship technology have come into use.

These impressive steamers are 515 feet long, 58 feet wide and have a displacement of 10,000 tons. At full load, each steamer displacement amounts to approximately 16,000 tons.

The steamer builder is the well-known firm of Alex Stephens & Son, Clyden, whose name is a sufficient guarantee for their practical furnishings and solidity. All the steamers are constructed exclusively of steel and in accordance with the rules of Bureau Veritas highest class, with double bottom throughout the length of the vessels and as a very safe safety device divided into several independent, watertight rooms. In order to keep the steamer's movements on the lake smooth and calm, the vessels are equipped with winding keels.

 

Double Propeller Steamer "C. F. Tietgen"

Double propeller steamer "C. F. Tietgen" has a length of 485 feet and a width of 53 feet. The carpenter is built by the world-famous company Harland & Wolff in Belfast. It is, like the other three steamers, constructed exclusively of steel and extremely strong. essentially the same as in "Oscar II", "Hellig Olav" and "United States".

It can certainly be said that these giant steamers in every respect speak comparison with the best in the transatlantic steamship fleet.

In addition to passengers, each steamer can carry about 6,000 tons of cargo. Two triple expansion machines are used for the steamers' propulsion. Each of these has 3 cylinders as well as surface capacitor.

In order to effectively illustrate the dimensions of the smokestacks, e.g. It is stated that the double-propeller-express steam chimneys have a diameter of 17 feet and rise 115 feet above the ship's d. in other words, that they have the same height as the Round Tower in Copenhagen.

 

SEPARATE CABINS NOTE

All passengers get seats in separate cabins. One of our steamers is the entire third class with small cabins for 2, 4, and 6 people. The beds are made of galvanized iron according to Hoskin's patent and fully equipped with mattress, cushion and duvet, which are free for passengers' free use. Each cabin is also equipped with a dresser, mirror etc. etc.

The walking places for third class passengers are located both at the front and aft of the deck and are so arranged as to provide a free and magnificent view of the sea, as well as ample space for the passengers.

Large dining rooms are set up on the main deck, which extend over the entire width of the ship and on the intermediate deck there is space in each compartment for the passengers' dining.

 

Meals and Dining Areas

The meals at the inviting and appetizing, table setting and serving are provided by the Line's courteous and competent caretakers, who, in sufficient number, are employees on board to serve the passengers. Female servants are employed to assist families and ladies. In addition, the employee is an "Oldfrue", of which young girls and traveling women can always get advice and information.

All cleaning of cabins and departments is of course provided by the service, which is why the passengers do not have to worry about it.

On the steamers' over deck there are three lounges, which are exclusively available to ladies and gentlemen of the 3rd class.

As regards the more material and now indispensable, it must be stated that large storage rooms have been set up in the immediate vicinity of the kitchen for storage of the necessary and substantial supply of provisions.

On the deck below these are insulated cold stores and ice cabinets for supplies. That in such a versatile household as the one found on Scandinavia-America Line's giant steamers, not lacking an ice machine, is quite natural. Therefore, each steamer can produce up to 250 kg. ice daily.

Since, as previously noted, nothing is saved from the company's side when it comes to increasing the well-being of passengers, it goes without saying that baths and toilet rooms as well as water closets are in large numbers, advantageously placed aboard the steamers; and it is just as obvious that the most recent improvements have come to fruition in these areas.

Any 3rd class passenger can, at any time, receive a refreshing hot or cold bath at no charge. In addition, there is plenty of ventilation everywhere on the vessels.

For further proof of the company's regard for passengers, each musician on the trip accompanies a music orchestra for the passengers' entertainment.

Following this, it is no exaggeration to declare that the Scandinavian-America Line is definitely on the cusp of what can be desired with today's claims by emigrants from Scandinavia to America and that it is able at all times to assert its first rank Through fast travel, friendly and very accommodating service to the passengers, as well as modern vessels, which are especially in the hygienic sense, to the fullest satisfaction.

All this has created confidence in this line, which is the most valid recommendation that can be given.

[1] Labskaus is a culinary specialty from Northern Germany and in particular from the cities of Bremen, Hamburg, and Lübeck. The main ingredients are salted meat or corned beef, potatoes, and onion. Some recipes put beetroot, pickled gherkin, or even herring into it, while others have these ingredients as side orders.

Every day at 10--3: Oat soup, milk for the sick and children. Changes are reserved.

As can be seen, the serving on board in the 3rd Class in each respect goes step by step with a good Swedish, bourgeois family's food voucher, and the Scandinavia-America Line has, as in many other areas from the passenger side, only received recognizable statements.

PASSENGER ENTRY

Passengers are requested to respond very carefully to the various paragraphs of the questionnaire at check-in and to sign the same.

Reliable filling saves the passengers considerable inconvenience, and the list may be submitted to the agent as well as down payment. However, US citizens only need to state on their list their full name and full address in America, age, employment, place of birth and destination, after which they may state that they are "United States Citizens" (See Questionnaire).

It should be borne in mind that places can only be reserved after submitting down payment.

As long as a passenger is in doubt as to whether landing in America should be allowed to him, it would be safest to consult the agent before completing the questionnaire.

In the event that passengers wish to travel to a station in the United States of America, they are advised to redeem the ticket through the agent, thereby saving unnecessary expenses and, of course, unnecessary residence in New York.

The old saying: "Time is money" must also be remembered here.

The Boarding of the Steamer

The on-boarding of the steamer takes place in Copenhagen or Kristiania (Oslo).

Thus, there is no change of rail or steamship, before the actual ocean voyage begins, a convenience that cannot be more appreciated.

 

Wireless Telegraph

Marconi's telegraph station is installed in all dual-propeller steamers in such a way that the steamers during the trip can be in connection with land or with other steamers on the Ocean.

The tariff for telegraphing from the steamers to land stations is stated by the steamers' telegraphists.

 

Medical Examination

It should be of general interest to Swedish emigrants to admit that the medical examination of each particular passenger, who, in accordance with the American Immigration Act, is to be unconditionally undertaken in the European port cities, before boarding the emigrant ship is permitted by the city of the respective city of Copenhagen or Kristiania, which in a humane and gracious manner, presents to the passengers the necessary questions and, moreover, in the most considerate way, to examine the passengers.

The American Immigration Act translated into Swedish is available through all our agents.

 

Note. However, with respect to some of the said persons, conditions may be given under which access to the United States may be permitted. Thus, persons whose deformity or blemish is not of such a nature become such that it makes the person in question generally unable to deny land ascendancy, and likewise persons can be assumed to have access to the States when, from relatives or friends, they reside in the States as American citizens, with the will and ability to undertake a service obligation, obtained a lawful document that guarantees them maintenance for the time they will be staying in the United States.

 

Children under the age of 16 who arrive without being accompanied by parents, or whose parents are not resident in America, can only be accepted for promotion, a they travel to a close relative, e.g. brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandparents, and then from such relatives there is a legal explanation ("Affidavit").

When children travel to parents who reside in America, parents may submit an affidavit in good time and a message to the immigration authorities in New York about the children's arrival, while the children will otherwise be detained until information is obtained from the parents.

The document ("Affidavit") mentioned above, in order to be approved by the US immigration authorities, must be issued in full legal form. It must also be certified by the Notary Public Order in the County where the exhibitor concerned resides and at the same time must be provided by Notary Public with sufficient confirmation that the exhibitor of the document is financially situated so that he is in position to fulfill their undertakings. In cases where children are under the age of 16, it may also be stated that the recipient undertakes to provide education and education.

 

Money Required at Landing

Note. Immigrants who land in America should be in possession of sufficient funds for their maintenance until they arrive at their destination and be able to find work.

Immigration Authorities now prefer to see that immigrants who cannot stay with relatives or acquaintances until they can get work, at the land rise, bring at least $ 25.

Immigrants who do not meet these conditions risk being delayed until their money can be sent to them or rejected by the authorities.
