After a long time I present you my newest ship. The Schwäbisch Hall!


HISTORY:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


The Schwäbisch Hall was a liner of the Preußischer Kaiser Lloyd (PKL) built in 1874. She was the first ship of the shipping company after the foundation of the German Empire in 1871 to be operated with a screw instead of the paddle wheels that had been common until then. The ship was 357 feet (109 meters) long and could run about 11.5 knots with its 2-speed expansion steam engine. A striking feature of the ship was the class distribution, which was very modern for its time, as the 1st class was already located midship, which was rather unusual by the standards of the time. The ship was used on the route from Luisenburg to New York. With the Schwäbisch Hall, the PKL achieved the long-awaited connection to the large shipping companies Cunard and the Western Shipping Company (WSG). In 1887, the Schwäbisch Hall was sold to the Bremen-Liverpool Steamship Company. For them, she served on the Bremerhaven-Liverpool route for another 2 years. In 1891 she was finally sold for scrapping due to her overhauled engines.
