I recently answered a question about a voyage of the Eisenach which left Bremen about 14 May 1913 and arrived in Baltimore 9 Jun 1913. There was little about the ship in TheShipsList archives (not a surprise as she only made one voyage to North America). Ted Finch sent this extract: EISENACH / SANTAREM 1908 6,757 gross tons, 419.6ft x 54.5ft, single screw, speed 12 knots, accommodation for 50-1st and 900-3rd class passengers. Launched on 27th Jun.1908 by Bremer Vulkan, Vegesack for their own account and laid up until 9th Feb.1910 when she was purchased by North German Lloyd and started her maiden voyage from Bremen to La Plata. She was then used regularly on the Bremen - Boulogne - Lisbon - Madeira - Brazil and Argentina service. 1913 one voyage to Baltimore. 1914 sheltered in Pernambuco on the outbreak of war, seized by Brazilian authorities in 1917 and renamed SANTAREM. Used on South American coastal services from 1918 - 1922 and then chartered to French Line and used on their New York service. 1922 owned by Lloyd Brasileiro. 1940 nearly burnt out but run ashore and later salvaged and rebuilt with accommodation for 60-1st and 726-3rd class passengers. 1960 scrapped in Argentina. [Norddeutscher Lloyd, Bremen vol.1 by Edwin Drechsel] TSL archives did mention that there was a photograph in the book by Michael Anuta, "Ships of our Ancestors" I checked the picture and it looks like a 1908 steamer. NDL had two later ships named Eisenach, and Anuta is not always accurate in distinguishing between ships with the same name. -- Harry Dodsworth Ottawa Ontario Canada af877@freenet.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------
