This is the fourth Bremen built for Norddeutschen Lloyd. This Bremen was built by A.G. Deschimag Weser of Bremen. She was launched in 1928. She had 51,656 tons, a length of 273.9 m and a width of 31.3 m. her service speed was 27 knots.

Bremen launching in 1928

Bremen made a spectacular entry onto the North Atlantic, taking both the east- and westbound Blue Ribands on her July 1929 maiden voyage from Bremerhaven to New York and back. Bremen lost the westbound record to her sister Europa in March 1930, but she held on to the eastbound record until 1935, even beating her own record in the summer of 1933, after improvements were made to her engines.

Bremen very early in her career. Soon after she entered service her funnels were heightened considerably (see below) because of passenger complaints that the squat funnels shown here caused too much smoke and ash on deck.

Her sad end: En route from New York to Bremerhaven without passengers when World War II began, Bremen spent three months at Murmansk before breaking the British blockade of Germany and returning to Bremerhaven in December 1939. Bremen was converted into an accommodation ship at Bremerhaven.

Bremen burning: On March 18, 1941, a disgruntled cabin boy started a fire in a storeroom. The resulting blaze completely burnt the ship out. The hulk was scrapped after the war ended.

The attached leaflet from July 1962 was forgotten in a book on Norddeutscher Lloyd that I bought from E-bay ten years ago. It refers to a wonderful model of Bremen IV created by two German engineers many years ago. It is dedicated to my friend britanis from Cologne/Köln in Germany.
Zu britanis mit herzlichen Grüssen

Published by LIFE magazine, a picture of BREMEN being launched.

At the end of the war, the ship's keel remained and it was taken to Weser river and scuttled. Her remains are said to be visible at low tide.
