To German Atlantic Line.


The Hanseatic (30,030 grt in 1958, 673 ft. long) was originally the Empress of Japan, delivered in 1930.
After the war she was renamed Empress of Scotland and transferred from Canadian Pacific's
pre-war transpacific route to the North Atlantic route. She was bought by the Hamburg-Atlantic Line in 1958
and rebuilt as the Hanseatic. She was extensively damaged by fire in 1966 and scrapped.

From a 1962 Hamburg-Atlantic Line cruise brochure/deck plan.

The Simplon Postcards website has a page on the history of the Hanseatic with many postcards/photos.

The The Great Ocean Liners website covers a lot of famous liners, also the Hanseatic.

You may use my images on another website.
Then please credit them as being from the collection of Björn Larsson,
and preferably provide a link to my Introduction page.
Thank you!
