SS EUROPA
SS Europa was a German ocean
liner built for the Norddeutsche Lloyd line (NDL).
She and her sister ship, Bremen, were the two most
advanced, high speed steam turbine ocean vessels in
their day.
Europa was built in 1929. As part of the
international competition for the Blue Riband, she
was designed with high speed steam turbine engines,
a bulbous bow, and a low streamlined profile. Europa
and Bremen cruised at 27.5 knots, allowing an
Atlantic crossing time of 5 days. This enabled
Norddeutsche Lloyd to run regular weekly crossings
with only two ships, a feat that normally required
three.
Europa made
her maiden voyage to New York on 19 March 1930. She
took away the westbound Blue Riband from SS Bremen with
the average speed of 27.91 knots and a crossing time
of 4 days, 17 hours and 6 minutes.
After WWII,
SS Europa was transferred to France in partial
payment of war reparations.
