The
Saloon steamer Cobra was a paddle wheeler powered steamship, launched at
Fairfield
Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Govan (Glasgow, Scotland) on 2 March
1889, renamed St. Tudno by Liverpool & Llandudno SS Co Ltd,
Liverpool, England, in 1890. The same year was renamed Cobra by Albert Ballin, Hamburg
(Germany). In 1897 it was purchased by Nordsee-Linie Dampfschiff GmbH, Hamburg,
and in 1905 it became the property of Hamburg-Amerika Linie
(HAPAG), also from Hamburg, which used it for the Atlantic crossing. In 1919 it
was seized by the French government as war reparations, and in 1920 it reverted
to the property of Hamburg-Amerika Linie (HAPAG) of Hamburg, which purchased it
from France and returned it to service until April 1922, when it was scrapped
in Wismar (Germany) by Mahr
& Beyer.
