*According to N. R. P. Bonsor, "North Atlantic Seaway, an
Illustrated History of the Passenger Services Linking the Old
World with the New" (Prescott, Lancashire: T. Stephenson &
Sons, 1955; Supplement 1960), p.129:
The S.S. RUGIA was built in 1882 by Vulkan shipbuilders in
Stettin for the Hamburg American Line (HAPAG). She was 358
feet long by 43 feet wide, with a gross tonnage of 3,467.
She carried 96 first class, and 1,100 third class, passengers.
She was sold in 1895 to the French Fabre Line, and renamed
the PATRIA. She was sold again in 1902/3, and scrapped in
Italy in December 1905. (Infromation by Michael J. Anuta,
"Ships of Our Ancestors* (Menominee, Michigan: Ships of Our
Ancestors, 1983; reprint Baltimore: Genealogical
Publishing Co., 1993), p. 286, contains a reproduction of a
photograph of the "Rugia", courtesy of the

*The S.S. "Baltic" was built in 1850 by Brown & Bell, New York,
for the Collins Line. 2,860 tons; 282 x 45 ft; straight
bow, 1 funnel, 3 masts; wood construction, paddle locomotion.
16 November 1850 maiden voyage New York-Liverpool. 1853 mizen
mast removed. 3 February 1858 last voyage New York-Liverpool.
1858-1861 laid up. 1861 Civil War transport. 1866 ran for
North American Lloyd. 1867 ran for New York & Bremen S.S. Co.
"The one redeeming feature of the year's activities
[for the New York & Bremen S.S. Co.] was the penultimate
westbound voyage of the "Baltic", which left Southampton with
1,000 passengers, 230 of whom had embarked there and the
remainder at Bremen". The voyage apparently was not without
incident, since some of the passengers complained of ill
treatment [Handelskammer Bremen, Archiv, II-A-I.4.Bd.4 Nr. 253
und 255-257b]. Laid up from the autumn of 1867. 1870 engines
removed. 1880 scrapped [N. R. P. Bonsor, "North Atlantic
Seaway" (Prescot,Lancs.: Stephenson, 1955), pp. 57 and 240].
