SS Hamburg

SS Hamburg was a German ocean liner launched in 1900, primarily used for passenger travel and cargo between Europe and North America. Renowned for its speed and luxury, it served during peacetime and was involved in wartime activities during World War I. In 1917, it was captured by the Allies and converted into a troopship. Following the war, it was returned to Germany and resumed service before eventually being retired. The ship is notable for its engineering and historical significance, exemplifying the early 20th-century maritime travel era.
