Trave
The "Trave" was built by Fairfield & Co, Glasgow in 1886,
commissioned by Nord-deutscher Lloyd. The Trave was a 4969 gross ton
vessel, 438 feet in length and with a beam of 48.1 feet. It had two
funnels, four masts, a single screw and a speed of 17 knots. There was
accommodation for 150 first class, 90 second class and 1,000 third
class passengers. The Trave was launched on the 18th of February 1886
and made its maiden voyage, Bremerhaven-Southampton-New York, on June
5, 1886.
The Trave was involved in several accidents. On June 13th 1889 it
collided with the Russian schooner "David," sinking it. Another
unfortunate incident occurred on June 21, 1892 when the Trave collided
in the Atlantic with the sailing ship "Fred B. Taylor," which sank
with the loss of two lives. In July of 1896 the Trave was refurbished
by AG Vulcan in Stettin. The number of masts were reduced to two,
its funnels were lengthened, the cabin deck was extended aft, the
number of cabin portholes amidships was increased from 22 to 27 and
the engine and boilers were overhauled. In addition it was painted
white. After being refitted the Trave continued on the Bremerhaven-New
York circuit until 1901 when it was transferred to the Genoa - Naples
- New York run. Its last voyage on this route began on April 23,
1903. Between 1903-1906 it was laid up. On March 1, 1906 the Trave
made a temporary reappearance between Bremen and New York. It made
nine round-trip voyages on this run, the last one in November 1907. In
1909 it was sold and scrapped.
