SS
Bremen
was a German-built
ocean liner
constructed for the
Norddeutscher Lloyd
line (NDL) to work the
transatlantic
sea route.
Bremen
was notable for her
bulbous bow
construction, high-speed engines, and low, streamlined profile. At the time of her construction, she and her
sister ship
Europa
were the two most advanced high-speed steam turbine ocean liners of their day. The German pair sparked an international competition in the building of large, fast, luxurious ocean liners that were national symbols and points of prestige during the pre-war years of the 1930s. She held the
Blue Riband
, and was the fourth ship of NDL to carry the name
Bremen
.  She was launched in 1928.
