Stettiner Lloyd, Stettin 1880-1886
The Stettiner Lloyd had been founded in 1880 to provide a service from
Stettin to New York via Scandinavian ports. The company owned only two
vessels, the KÄTIE, 2,737 tons, built by Alexander Stephen & Sons, Glasgow,
in 1880, and the MARTHA built in 1884 by G. Howaldt, Kiel.
Stettiner
Lloyd's service was not a success, and in 1886 was abruptly withdrawn,
without warning, the MARTHA undertaking the last sailing, leaving Stettin
on 17 April 1886, and Gothenburg on 4 May 1886. The company went into
liquidation and the KÄTIE and MARTHA were re-sold to their builders who
were most probably still owed a great portion of their purchase prices.
The Hamburg Amerika Linie (HAPAG) took the opportunity to extend their
New York service from Stettin and started a new service on 1 July 1886
and was in operation for many years and from 1892 onwards known as the
Scandia Line.
