The three funnelled liner looks like the Compagnie Sud-Atlantique's 'Burdigala', originally the NDL's 'Kaiser Friedrich' of 1897.
Built at Danzig by Schichau, she did not meet her speed requirements and, after various trials and tribulations and a short term charter to HAPAG, was laid up between 1900 and 1912 when the newly organized Cie Sud-Atlantique bought her, had new boilers fitted and placed her on a Bordeaux-South American service.
A trooper from March 1915, she was sunk in the Aegean by mines in November 1916.
12,481GT 600' x 64', twn screw, 4exp.
About 1,350 passengers in three classes.
