Founded in 1890, the shipping company initially
operated in competition
with Braeunlich. But soon they were working
together. The steamers
"Ahlbeck”, “Swinemünde” and “Heringsdorf”
operated for the “Steamship
Company of Swinemünde”. However, the “Berlin”,
bought in 1906, sank
following a collision in the “Papen Wasser” and
remained out of service
until after the Great War. From 1925-29, the
new “Deutschland” was
the showpiece in the company. But she sank
following a collision too,
before being raised and sold to Braeunlich,
where she continued in
service under the name “Frigga”. In 1927, a
final ship, the “Stettin”,
was purchased before the shipping line merged
with the “Braeunlich
Shipping Company of Stettin”. |
