Proud scores, proud hundreds of Bremen burghers trotted down with all their kinfolk to the mammoth docks at Bremerhaven last week to cheer themselves purple in the face. "Hoch der Bremen!" roared stout sires. Dimpling Frauleins echoed, "Hoch der Bremen!" Radio carried the massed cheering to remotest German hamlets. From stern Prussia to mellow Saxony the whole Fatherland throbbed and thrilled as croaking loud speakers announced that any moment now there would sail from Bremerhaven on her maiden voyage the giant S.

They will reach Germany within six times 24 hours after they leave New York." Only the Bremen is now left...
...newest Dutch liner Statendam, the German fliers will have Tourist Third Class accommodation of a luxury not found in the First Class of many small and old eight-day boats. Today the fastest ship in the world is still the Mauretania but with the advent of the Bremen a new speed queen should reign on the Atlantic, at least until 1930. The largest German motor ship, M. S.
