SS
BREMEN model
The SS Bremen was a
German built ocean liner. At the time of her
construction, she and her sister ship the Europa
were the two most advanced, high speed steam turbine
ocean liners of her day. The German pair sparked an
international competition in the building of large,
fast, luxurious ocean liners that were national
symbols and points of prestige during the pre-war
years of the 1930s.
On her maiden
voyage, Bremen departed Bremerhaven for New York
City on 16 July 1929. She arrived four days,
17 hours, and 42 minutes later, capturing the
westbound Blue Riband from the Mauretania with an
average speed of 27.83 knots (51.54 km/h). This
voyage also marked the first time mail was carried
by a ship-launched plane for delivery before the
ship's arrival. A Heinkel HE 12 was launched a few hours before
arrival in New York with a number of mailbags.
On her next voyage
Bremen took the eastbound Blue Riband with a time of
4 day 14 hours and 30 minutes and an average speed
of 27.91 knots (51.69 km/h). This was the first time
a liner had broken two records on her first two
voyages.
