 The Ultimate Imperator ::
She is not the biggest liner of the day, but at 23 knots she is fast enough to strip the Blue Riband from the rival German line Norddeutscher Lloyd and their 1897 liner the KAISER WILHELM DER GROSSE.
The problem is common among large liners and serious enough that Albert Ballin, director of the Hamburg Amerika Line decides to forgo speed as a primary element on all future ships and instead will focus on size and luxury.
But the size and speed of these great liners prove stability and prestige for only a year before the Hamburg Amerika line as well as her competitors Norddeutscher Lloyd and White Star Line are confronted by two new formidable contenders to the Atlantic trade.
