Das Stueckchen Geschichte hatte Verbindung zu meiner Heimatstadt - durch eine bronzene Figur des Namensvorbilds, das seit September 1910 den groessten Platz des damaligen Stolps zierte.

The SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse was the pinnacle of speed, size and luxury at her time. She certainly deserved this status.

There were five four-funnelled liners from Vulcan (1897-1907); most famous of them all was the 'Kronprinz Wilhelm', and most luxurious - the 'Kronprinzessin Cecilie'. The latter remains in the shadow, as she had never won the 'Riband'.

Jamie Petroski That’s beyond wonderful, you should consider yourself extremely lucky one of your family members managed to sail aboard this glorious liner.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

A wonderful video! Truly a full detailed look of the mighty flagship of the Prussian merchant fleet! Amazing detail and immense glory in a ship that was although smaller than the Titanic, was superior in design, interior and speed! In my opinion it surpasses the Olympic Class apart from the slightly tight-quartered boat decks. Amazing video on the KWdG. [P.S: Could I ask where you got those deck-plans used at about 0:27 to 0:32? Thanks!]

This remarkable liner narrowly escaped destruction by fire late in June 1900.

Eine sehr schöne Zusammenstellung dieses großartigen Schnelldampfers und ebenso eine wundervolle, musikalische Untermalung. ;-)))

S.S Kaiser Wilhelm der Gross was a grand and elaborate ship for the Edwardian Era. In my opinion the Kaiser class is superior to the Olympic Class. Perhaps if they built more to the scale of Imperator Class, they could be noticed even more! I find it very admirable and proud that she managed to sink three enemy vessels before being sunk herself in WWI. Considering she was a Ocean Liner, a very good achievement. My damnation frustration goes to the British navy whom which destroyed her wreck in 1952 to avoid it's discovery by German divers, and other nations. Perhaps a smart move but a sad one. She would be in similar conditions to the wreck of HMHS Britannic, perhaps a little worse due to damage from her last-fought battle.

These liners set the standard of their day. British passenger trade threatened by them set in motion a building boom financed by British government, hence the term aux. cruisers. German ship building both civilian and military of the time were a thorn that struck deeply into British pride. Notice how after the war the Allies scooped these ships up under the guise of reparations.
