The #OceanLiner #SSBremen, second of an advanced pair from #NorddeutscherLloyd, launched in 1928 on #ThisDayInHistory, a day after #SSEuropa. Bremen was finished first, though, taking the #BlueRiband from veteran #RMSMauretania. Her #Nazi flag was torn off in a #antifa 1935 act.

#OceanLiner #SSEuropa was launched in 1928 on #ThisDayInHistory, a day before her sister ship #SSBremen, and later took the #BlueRiband. Suffering several fires & a partial sinking, she still had a much longer life than Bremen, serving until 1962 as the #FrenchLine's #SSLiberté.

The #1900HobokenDocksFire was #ThisDayInHistory. It killed at least 326 people and devastated the #OceanLiner piers used by #NorddeutscherLloyd. Three of its ships burned – #SSSaale, the new #SSMain, & the 1896 #SSBremen – but #BlueRiband-holder #KaiserWilhelmDerGrosse was saved.
