She was a 10,531 gross ton ship, with two funnels, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 15 knots. There was passenger accomodation for 226 first, 235 second, 1,671 third class. Launched on August 1, 1896, she sailed from Bremen on her maiden voyage to Australia via Suez on November 11, 1896. On April 4, 1897 she commenced her first voyage from Bremen to Falmouth and on March 22, 1907 she started her first Naples - New York crossing. She then transferred to the Bremen - New York service. In 1914 she transferred to the Bremen - Philadelphia - Baltimore service. In Auggust of that year she took refuge in New York and in April 1917 was seized by the U. S. authorities and became the U. S. Government ship "Huron." In 1922 she went to the Los Angeles S. S. Co. and was renamed "City of Honolulu". While on her first Honolulu - Los Angeles crossing she was damaged by fire on October 12, 1922 and on October 17, 1922 was sunk by gunfire by the U.
