SHIPPING REPORTS. THE GERMAN IMPERIAL M.S.S. BRAUNSCHWEIG.
The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1957) Friday 5 July 1889 p 10 Article
Gottlob Schafter arrival in Melbourne on ship Braunschweig ---- BRAUNSCHWEIG. The German Imperial mail steamship Braun schweig of the Norddeutscher-Lloyd, arrived yesterday from Bremen, Antwerp and Southampton, via Genoa and Colombo, with mails, passengers and cargo. The Braunschweig was cleared inward by Mr E. G. Figg, the health officer, and Mr T. D. Ham mond, senior immigration officer. The steamer had over 250 passengers from Europe for Australia, and of these 35 were Italian who embarked at Genoa. Of the Italians, 22 were for Melbourne, and 13 are for Sydney. The passengers, exclusive of those landed at Adelaide, were apportioned as follows: For Melbourne 136, and for Sydney 117. The general health on board during the voyage was good, although there was a trying time in the torrid heat of the Red Sea. Captain Meier and the sailmaster or purser, Herr Rackermann did all that was requisite, however, to promote the com fort of passengers, and opportunity was taken to express appreciation of this at the close of the voyage. The Braunschweig and the purser are new to the Imperial Australian service, but Captain Meyer has been in it since it was established and knows exactly what it required to make life on board pass agreeably among a large number of passengers. The Braunschweig is a sister ship to the Nurnberg, and was built at the same place, Greenock by R. Steele and Co., in 1873. The others of the fleet which come here were built at Hull. She has been employed hitherto in the Atlantic trade, running between Bremen and Baltimore, and was very popular on that route. This is not to be wondered at for the passenger accommodations, especially the first and second saloons, are of a superior description. The main saloon is aft, and is luxuriously furnished and the state rooms are roomy and light, and thoroughly ventilated. The decorations are in the same style as those of the Nurnberg, and on the jalouis panelling are large oval paintings in oils of romantic scenery in the Hartz mountains. A view of a portion of the township of Braunschweig also figures amongst them. The pictures have some pretension to artistic merit, and carefully preserved under glass. Each is set in a massive gilt frame and their collective value is said to be considerable. The ladies' saloon is elegantly fitted up, and the upholstery of saloons and boudoir is nearly new. The second saloon is also stylishly fitted up and furnished, and there is double row of tables with punkahs overhead, for tropical latitudes. This portion of the steamer's accommodation is very little inferior to the main saloon, and if there is a little less carved work and gilding, or florid decoration, there is quite as much solid comfort. The Braunschweig before coming on the Australian line, was overhauled and placed in thorough order, and she will bear close inspection from end to end. Like the other steam ships of her line, she has the electric light duly installed all over the ship, and this gives a brilliant effect to the saloon, at night. It also adds to the comfort and convenience of the forecabin accommodation. The Braunschweig is straight-stemmed and brig-rigged and her dimensions are as follow: - Length 351 ft. 1in.; beam 39ft., and depth of hold 31ft. 7in. Her gross measure- ment is 3,070 tons and the net register is 2,150 tons. Her engines are of the modern compound type, surface condensing and direct acting. The cylinders are inverted, and are 49in. and 86.in in diameter respectively. The piston-stroke is 48in. The engines are well finished, and are of 494-horsepower nominal. Under ordinary working pressure they drive her at 12-knot speed. The Braunschweig, if retained on this line will be one of the favourite boats of the Norddeutscher service. After taking in cargo and embarking passengers the Braunschweig left Bremerhaven on May 15, and called at Antwerp next day. After taking in cargo she left on May 17, and crossed over to Southampton for passengers, leaving there on May 18 with variable winds and fine weather, which continued all the way to the Mediterranean. After taking in cargo and embarking passengers the steamer left for Port Said, where she arrived on the 3rd ult. The Canal was entered on the same date, and Suez was reached on the 4th ult. The Braunschweig commenced the passage of the Red Sea on the same date, and had light northerly winds to Aden. The heat was intense, and one of the firemen fell a victim to heat apoplexy. A departure was taken from Aden on the 8th ult., and strong S.W. monsoons, with heavy rains and a high sea prevailed during the passage from Aden to Colombo. The heaviest monsoon weather was fallen in with off Socotra. Colombo was reached on the 15th ult, and after taking in cargo the voyage was resumed, on the same date.

THE BRAUNSCHWEIG.
In pursuance of the policy adopted by the North German Lloyd Company to increase the speed and accommodation of the Hobenstaufen, Hobensollers, the Nurnberg, and the other steamers engaged in tho Australian trade, the Braunschweig has been temporarily taken off the China service from Bremen, and put on the Australian line pending the completion of the alterations in ono of the boats. A much faster service will shortly be maintained by this company, partly by new vessels and partly by the introductlon of more powerful machinery in some of the old ones. The Braunschweig is a sister ship to tho Nurnberg and is similar in all respects, with the exception of having a little more speed and a larger second saloon. The main saloon is a most commodious apartment, and is said that the comfort of this part of the ship for passengers is well looked after as the first, and the third-class passengers affirm that they received every attention from commander and officers. Amongst the latter, the most important one is Herr M Rackemann, the purser, who, although new in the Australian service, has shown that he thoroughly understands the management of passengers and making them comfortable. The ship is fitted with the electric light, and has throughout a goodly display of punkahs for the hot weather portions of the passage. Captain Meier, late of the Hohenzollern, is in command. The following is a report of the passage: -Left Bremenhaven on 15th May, having taken in a full cargo and good complement of passengers most of whom were in the second class. Having touched at Antwerp and Southampton she headed away down south with variable winds and fine weather, and on 1st June received the German mails on board at Port Said, and then made a direct course through the canal. On entering the Red Sea she had light northerly winds and the intense heat proved fatal to a fireman. On 8th June she called at Aden, and having delivered and received mails, coaled up the, bunkers and took in a supply of fresh water, and sailed the, same day for Colombo. When off Socotra Island she experienced a strong south-west monsoon, attended with terribly heavy sea, with light southerly winds follow ing. On 15th June she arrived at Colombo and re plenished the bunkers with coal and tanks with fresh water sailing again the same day, with strong west winds and high sea until on reaching 15 S , where the trades were fallen in with, accompanied by tropical rains, overcast sky, and heavy sea, thence to Leuwin variables and coarse weather con tinued off Cape Leuwin she experienced a very heavy S.S.E. gale, in which the vessel shipped large quantities of water, but after passing 116- E the winds veered to south and became variable with high S.W. swell. She reached Adelaide early on to 2nd instant, called in at Melbourne and had fine weather to arrival.
