Presumably Dr. Kiep was under orders from Berlin to keep the new Ambassador from giving an interview, for he chartered a tug, raced down the harbor to beat the newshawks to the Bremen, dashed into the Luther suite, locked the door. When importunate reporters were finally admitted, they beheld Dr. Kiep standing guard over a chunky elderly man whose eyes swept the floor in terrible embarrassment. Ambassador Luther kept saying: "Good morning, gentlemen. I am happy to meet the Press-I am happy...
...ugly fact that "it is no use to think we can effectively carry on our shipping trade in the North Atlantic if we have two great concerns competing with one another." Both wanted to make a bid to take Atlantic supremacy from North German Lloyd's sisters Bremen & Europa. They knew too that No. 534, designed to cross in four days flat, would need a sister ship to complete a crack two-way service.

...steadily for the speed honors of the Western Ocean. The "ocean greyhounds" at the turn of the century made the crossing in six to eight days. Before the War Britain and Germany had whacked the record down to five days. There it remained until North German Lloyd launched the Bremen and Europa in 1928 and 1929. The Bremen (51,656 tons) now holds the all-time record of 4 days, 14 hr., 30 min. from Ambrose Lightship to Plymouth. The Europa is 49,746 tons, both average about 26 knots. Italy's new Conte di Savoia...
