    Le Génie Civil – September 1891
    Steamship Amédée Courbet
 -The Largest Vessel on the Marseille–Saigon Route

    Commissioned on the 7th of September, the steamship Amédée Courbet becomes the new flagship of the Compagnie de Navigation Internationale and the largest vessel assigned to the Marseille–Saigon line. In terms of size, she surpasses the Australien, Polynésien, and Armand Béhic of the Messageries Maritimes Australia service.
    Originally constructed by J. & G. Thomson for a Belgian transatlantic shipping company, the vessel was subsequently acquired by the Compagnie de Navigation Internationale, which modified her arrangements for service on the Far Eastern routes.

    The vessel, measuring 157.3 metres in length and 16.35 metres in beam, accommodates across three decks 170 first-class, 241 second-class, and 212 third-class passengers. A crew of 192 ensures the regularity and proper conduct of the service.
    First-class passengers are provided with five principal public rooms, including a music salon, a lounge, a reading and writting room, a smoking room with veranda and a spacious dining saloon. Second-class passengers are likewise provided with a dining room, a smoking room, and a lounge arranged within the main staircase, complemented by additional seating areas on the lower decks.
    Third-class passengers are accommodated in comparatively spacious quarters located in the forward part of the vessel.

    Propulsion is provided by two triple-expansion engines, supplied by a set of four single-ended and four double-ended boilers, enabling the vessel to attain a speed of 18 knots, allowing it to complete the route in 28 days under perfect conditions.
