HANSEATIC of 1958

2008-12-08T19:48:00.003Z

As after WW2 the Hamburg based HAPAG company did not resume transatlantic passenger ship services, the gap was filled by several foreign operators, including Home Lines which in 1958 was behind the purchase of EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND and the establishment of German Atlantic Lines. After rebuilding the old EMPRESS became the handsome HANSEATIC in July 1958.
As a cruise ship this ship visited Lisbon several times. She had a fire in New York in 7 September 1957 and was sld t be broken up in Hamburg the following December.

CAP ARCONA TO RIO

2008-12-06T13:14:00.005Z

In a forgotten shipping office at the waterfront of Recife, the former Pernambuco, I saw recently an original version of this poster framed on the wall as if tickets were still available for the next CAP ARCONA crossing from Rio de Janeiro to Lisbon.

What a beautiful ship she was. Between 1927 and 1939 this ship was one of the very best ways to sail down to Rio de Janeiro. In those times there were also the Royal Mail "white and gold steamers", the Cie. Sud Autlantique liners from Bordeaux and Lisbon as well as the Italia Line passenger ships. So many ships to choose from in Lisbon in the 1930s...

One of the more famous passenger liners in the fleet of Hamburg Sud and the German Merchant Marine, the magnificent CAP ARCONA was a frequent visitor to the port of Lisbon during the three funneled liner relatively short career.
CAP ARCONA was employed on the Hamburg - Lisbon - Rio de Janeiro - Buenos Aires service from November 1927 (she left Hamburg on maiden voyage on 19 November 1927) up to August 1939 when she was withdrawn from service due to the outbreak of the Second World War. Her end was tragic in the frozen waters of Lubeck bay on 3 May 1945 when CAP ARCONA was bombed and sunk by the RAF - Royal Air Force with thousands of refugees onboard, of whom 5,000 lost their lives. Drole de Guerre...
