SS Deutschland, 1900
Illustration of the Hamburg-American Liner Deutschland, launched in 1900 and holder of the Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic crossing from 1900-1906. In September 1900, Deutschland crossed the Atlantic in 5 days and 7 hours, at an average of 23.36 knots.

EDITORS COMMENTS
SS Deutschland: A Historical Symbol of Speed and Innovation (1900) This illustration showcases the Hamburg-American Liner Deutschland, launched in 1900 and a pioneering figure in maritime history. The Deutschland held the esteemed title of the fastest Atlantic crossing from 1900 to 1906, having achieved an impressive feat by crossing the Atlantic in just 5 days and 7 hours, with an average speed of 23.36 knots. This remarkable accomplishment was made possible through the Deutschland's design, which prioritized speed above all else. In September 1900, the Deutschland set sail from Europe to the United States, leaving in its wake a trail of awe and admiration. However, her unwavering commitment to speed came with a compromise: passenger comfort. As a result, she was not the most popular vessel running the Atlantic during that era. The Deutschland's sleek design and groundbreaking speed, represented by the 21st number displayed proudly on her hull, made her a symbol of innovation and progress. Launched in Hamburg, Germany, the Deutschland was an import to the world of transatlantic travel. Her historic crossing in 1900 marked the beginning of a new era in ocean liners, paving the way for advancements in technology and design that would shape the future of maritime transportation. The Blue Riband, a prestigious award for the fastest Atlantic crossing, was a testament to the Deutschland's unparalleled speed and its significance in the annals of maritime history. This image, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the SS Deutschland redefined the boundaries of what was possible on the open sea.
