SMS Ee ss New Hamburg-American Liner NEw York leaving Hamburg on Maiden Voyage, Ni a ik a eee ee ee April 1, 1927, bound for new York New Hamburg-American Liner Arrives on Maiden Voyage HE MHamburg-Ameérican line i steamer NEW YorK, the latest addition to the company’s fleet of transatlantic passenger vessels, left Hamburg, April 1, on her maiden voy- age to New York, and arrived April 11. The new steamship is the fourth of a class which includes the ALBERT BALLIN, DEUTSCHLAND and HAMBURG. With her tonnage of 21,500 she brings the line’s fleet, plying between New York and Hamburg, which now con- sists of nine vessels, up to a total ton- nage of 165,000 gross tons. The New YorK was built by Messrs. Blohm & Voss in Hamburg and meets the highest requirements of the Ger- manischer Lloyd. Her _— principal measurements are: length 633 feet, beam 79 feet and depth 56 feet. She is a twin-screw oil-burner, propelled by two turbines working independently of each other, of a combined capacity of 13,000 horsepower which will drive the vessel at an average speed of 16 knots, enabling her to make the passage from Hamburg to New York in about ten days. The New York has nine decks, four extending through her whole length and five in the superstructure. Spe- cial attention has been paid to the prevention of vibration, and every practical safety device has been in- stalled. In the details of her passenger ac- commodation, the NEw York closely resembles her predecessors. The vessel has accommodation for 250 first class passengers. The prin- ciple of making all social rooms con- nect with one another has been car- ried still further on the NEw York. The first class staterooms, like the social roms, present a combination of comfort and luxury. This accommo- dation includes four suites, each com- prising sitting room, bedroom, bag- gage room and bathroom; eighteen BREWER VELEAR RETIN ed CRRRI EERE WE ate CAPT. KARL GRAALFS Commander of S. S. New York MARINE REVIEW—May, 1927 staterooms-de-luxe with private bath; and 107 other staterooms provided with one or two beds each. Every stateroom has bedsteads and wash- stands and is supplied with running hot and cold water. Ample provision has been made for sports and games. The sports deck located on the uppermost deck, an in- novation much appreciated on the HAm- BUBG, where it was first introduced, is even larger and better than its prototype. It covers a space of about 6000 square feet, 2370 feet of which are occupied by the tennis court. The wide promenade deck is _ protected against wind and weather by sliding windows extending along its whole length. It provides ample opportunity for walking and for lounging in com- fortable deck chairs. The 8S. S. NEw York also contains accommodation for 420 second class passengers. This class, though simpler, is also finely appointed and as com- fortable as that provided for first class passengers. The third class ac- commodates 460 passengers and re- sembles the corresponding accommoda- tion on board her sister ships, except that additional improvements have been provided. All third class passengers are ac- commodated in two, berth staterooms, and there are also rooms containing six beds. 13 three or four-
