SS BREMEN
ocean liner model
In the hearts of many,
SS Bremen was the most significant ocean liner. She
was the first liner who broken two records on her
first two voyages. Her maiden voyage also marked the
first time mail was carried by a ship-launched plane
for delivery before the ship's arrival.

The German ship Bremen was notable for her
low streamlined profile and a modern approach to her
design. The Bremen sparked the
building of the large and very expensive express
liners of the 1930s.
SS Bremen was the first liner who broken two records
on her first two voyages, westbound and eastbound.

SS Bremen was a
German built ocean liner. At the time of her
construction, she and her sister ship the SS 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, SS 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
11,000 pieces of mail in six mailbags
weighing 220 pounds which it delivered to New York
many hours before the ship docked at the North
German-Lloyd pier in Brooklyn.
On her
very next voyage back to Europe, 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).
