"KERGELEN". Compagnie Maritime des Chargeurs Réunis, France. Postcard


KERGELEN
Compagnie Maritime des Chargeurs Réunis

Postcard published by Labo-Photo-Sud-Est, Marseille, CO 30-23.

This vessel was built in 1920 as the Meduana for the Compagnie de Navigation Sud-Atlantique; in 1928, it passed to Chargeurs Réunis, which renamed it Kerguelen (in honor of the explorer Yves-Joseph de Kerguelen de Trémarec) and assigned it to routes serving South America. In August 1940, during World War II, it was requisitioned by the German Kriegsmarine for troop transport, and in 1941, it was transferred to the German shipping company Reederei F. Laeisz. Returned to Chargeurs Réunis in 1948, it was ultimately scrapped in 1955. It had a gross tonnage of 10,123 tons. As a mixed-service ocean liner intended for migration and trade routes to South America, its original design accommodated approximately 400 passengers, divided into different classes (first, second, and third class or steerage for immigrants).

"HANSEATIC" Ocean Liner in the port of Hamburg, Germany. Postcards


HANSEATIC
Ocean Liner

in the port of Hamburg

Postcards published by Hans Andres Verlag, Hamburg.

This ship was built in 1929–1930 by the Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Company at Govan on the Clyde, Scotland, for Canadian Pacific Steamships. Originally named Empress of Japan, it regularly sailed the transpacific route between the west coast of Canada and the Far East until 1942, when it was renamed Empress of Scotland. In 1958, it was acquired by the Hamburg Atlantic Line and extensively rebuilt, then renamed Hanseatic. It was assigned to the Hamburg–New York route. On 8 September 1966, the ship caught fire in New York, and on 28 September, it was towed to Hamburg, where it was deemed economically unviable. It was scrapped shortly thereafter.
