LEIPZIG
The "Leipzig" was a 2,388 gross ton ship, built by Caird & Co, Greenock
in 1869 for North German Lloyd of Bremen. Her details were - length
290.2ft x beam 39ft, clipper stem, one funnel, two masts (rigged for
sail), iron construction, single screw and a speed of 10 knots. There
was accommodation for 84-1st and 600-3rd class passengers. Launched on
13/2/1869, she sailed from Bremen on her maiden voyage to Southampton
and Baltimore in May 1869. On 13/1/1872 she commenced the first of five
Bremen - New York voyages and in 1883 her engines were compounded by
Henniges, Bremen. She started her last Bremen - Baltimore crossing on
12/5/1886 and was subsequently used on the S.American service. She
started her last voyage on 19/5/1894 and was sold to Hamburg owners the
same year. In 1898 she was scrapped at Hamburg. [North Atlantic Seaway
