The Hamburg America Line

The Hamburg America Line is Germany’s oldest and largest steamship company. It was founded on May 27, 1847 by Hamburg merchants as the Hamburg-American Steam Packet Company and rose in the course of a few decades from an obscure firm owning a few sailing ships to the position of the world’s largest steamship company whose ships sailed to every corner of the globe.

After the World War which resulted in the loss of practically all of its tonnage, untiring and persevering efforts soon enabled the Hamburg America Line again to occupy one of the leading positions in the shipping world with a modern fleet of 110 ocean-going steamers and 147 smaller vessels aggregating in all 788,178 Gross Register Tons.

The first service operated by the Company which today maintains regular services to all parts of the world, was between Hamburg and New York. After the foundation of the Company the service was inaugurated by three sailing ships, soon to be followed by the first steamers flying the Hapag flag. They started a rapid development of this important service by still larger and faster ships until, at the outbreak of the War, three giant liners plying between Hamburg and New York were the largest and most luxurious afloat.

Today the New York Service is maintained by the four twin-screw express steamers of the “Hamburg” type, of 22,000 Gross Register Tons. Propelled by engines of about 28,000 HP., these ships attain an average speed of 19 miles per hour enabling them to make the crossing from Hamburg to New York in eight days.

Every Thursday, in summer and winter, one of the “Famous Four” sails from Hamburg via Southampton and Cherbourg to New York while another one returns from New York via Cherbourg and Southampton to Hamburg. Each of these ships can accommodate about 1,000 passengers in Cabin, Tourist and Third Class. Besides the four ships of the “Hamburg” type, the twin-screw motorship “St. Louis” of 16,732 Gross Register Tons is also engaged in the New York Service during the summer months.

Apart from this service, the Hamburg America Line maintains regular sailings to all parts of the world. More than 120 ports in every corner of the globe are regularly called at by the steamers of the Hamburg America Line. With excellent ships for the speedy transportation of passengers, cargo and mail, the Company maintains services to Canada, Cuba and Mexico, the West Indies and Central America, to the West Coast of North and South America, to the Dutch East Indies, to Australia, to China and Japan and other countries of the Far East.

Pleasure cruising has been another important branch of the Company’s business ever since, in the early nineties, the “Augusta Victoria” of the Hamburg America Line sailed on the world’s first pleasure cruise. today two splendid ships, the “Reliance” of 19,821 Gross Register Tons and the “Milwaukee” of 17,754 Tons are exclusively engaged in cruising. They carry their passengers Around the World, to the Mediterranean and the Lands of the Midnight Sun, to the Atlantic Islands and to the West Indies.

The S. S. “Reliance” has for years been holding an international reputation as one of the finest cruising liners afloat while the “Milwaukee,” among other features, is equipped with up-to-date installations for medicinal baths, massages and similar treatments making her the world’s first “floating Spa.”

Information for Passengers

Ships’ Travellers Checks. The attention of our passengers is called to the fact that in the left upper corner of the Ships’ Travelers Checks the name of the passenger has immediately to be filled in. If this is not done there is the possibility that in case of thefts the cheques can easily be cashed by persons not entitled to it. Utilization of Public Rooms.

Passengers are sincerely requested to confine themselves to the public rooms, promenade decks and deck space specifically provided for the class in which they travel. Grill Room. Special attention of Cabin passengers is directed to the Grill Room, situated on the Boat Deck.

It is particularly suitable for passengers desirous of having an occasional meal in privacy or in company of friends. Meals are served there between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm and between 6 and 9:00 pm A cover charge of RM. I.— for lunch and of RM. 2.— for dinner each person is made for meals thus served. Passengers who want to take all their meals in the Grill Room may do so on payment of a lump sum of RM. 17.50 each person for the portion Southampton/ Cherbourg—New York or vice versa or RM.20.— for the portion Hamburg—New York or vice versa for half of the Roundtrip.

Deck Chairs, Travelling Rugs, etc. In addition to the seating accommodation provided on deck, comfortable deck chairs, rugs, chair cushions and pillows are available to passengers. Apply to the deck stewards.

Wireless Telegraph and Telephone Services. The Wireless Station (Telefunken system) is in uninterrupted communication with the mainland and may be used for cable messages both ways. In addition, the ship is fitted with a short-wave transmitter for direct telephone messages. Information regarding the use of both services may be had free of charge on application to the wireless operator, whose office is on the Boat Deck. All inquiries, complaints, etc., should be exclusively addressed to Deutsche Betriebsgesellschaft für drahtlose Telegrafie m. b. H., 2g, Hardenberg Strasse, Berlin-Charlottenburg II, and not to the Hamburg America Line, the latter company assuming no responsibility for the wireless services.

New York Mail for Passengers. The New York Office of the Hamburg America Line/North German Lloyd has made arrangements that mail addressed to passengers arriving in New York may be obtained at the principal exit on the upper floor of the Pier. This only applies to such letters, etc., that arrive too late to be delivered to passengers on board during their stay at the quarantine station.

Landing Card. On arrival in New York the “Landing card” attached to your ticket is to be handed to the Immigration Officer for endorsement. Cabin passengers will receive the landing cards from the purser during the voyage.

New York Porter Service. Passengers are reminded that the porters on the New York piers are not allowed to ask for gratuities in consideration of the handling of passengers’ baggage, because they are paid sufficient wages for their services. If, nevertheless, any porter should demand payment for handling such baggage, passengers are requested to note the number plate on his cap and to report him to one of the uniformed policemen on the pier.

In addition, passengers are earnestly advised to direct their enquiries concerning baggage or passage matters exclusively to persons who, by their uniforms, are plainly seen to be Hapag employees. Failing this precaution, they expose themselves to the risk of being taken advantage of by unauthorized persons.

Passengers proceeding to interior Destinations. Wireless advance bookings of Pullman, sleeping and parlor car accommodation for the journey from New York to places situated in the interior may be effected on board through the intermediary of the Purser.

Sailing Permits for Non-Americans. Non-Americans (including visitors to the United States who intend a temporary stay only) must obtain, prior to their departure from the United States, a Sailing Permit, which must be produced previous to going on board, when the final passage ticket is examined. Such Sailing Permits are issued at the Custom House, Battery, NewYork. Further information will be gladly given by the Hamburg- American Line/North German Lloyd, 57, Broadway, New York.

Imported Plants and Soil, etc. Prohibited. The United States Department of Agriculture, Plant Quarantine and Control Administration, advises under “Notice of Quarantine No. 37,” that plants, soil or other similar materials cannot be imported into the United States, either as souvenirs or in any other manner.

Advance Reservations of Automobiles. The Hamburg America Line has made arrangements with the Pennsylvania Cadillac Motor Service, New York, whereby private limousines may be ordered by wireless to'our New York piers for arrival of our ships. Information as to rates and all other details are obtainable at the Tourist Department of the Hamburg America Line on board.

Life Preservers

Life preservers ready for immediate use are to be found at the head of the beds in all cabins. They are put on like ordinary jackets and are tied together at the neck and across the body. The danger signal for passengers consists of seven short and one long blast of the steam-whistle. Upon this signal passengers proceed to the assembly places indicated in public notices on board. From here they are conducted to the boats by their room stewards under supervision of the officer in charge.

Films, Chemicals, burning Articles, etc.

Any large quantities of films, chemicals and other photographic material of inflammable nature may under no circumstances be kept in the cabins. Passengers are requested to hand them to the purser on board for safe-keeping.
