Image of Unknown: ocean liner U.D.L.D. "Barbarossa", Germany ca. 1900

Snapshot of the U.D.LD. Barbarossa with a very nice and spontaneous composition. Vintage POP print with good tonality.
The Barbarossa class was a class of ocean liners of North German Lloyd and the Hamburg America Line of the German Empire. The ships were built between 1896 and 1902.
At the outbreak of World War I, rather than face capture or destruction at the hands of the British Royal Navy, most of the Barbarossa-class ships were interned in neutral ports. As Italy, the United States, and Brazil successively joined the war, each seized the interned Barbarossa-class ships and renamed them. The five ships interned under U.S. control all became United States Navy transport ships. These five ex-German transports carried over 95,000 American troops to France before the Armistice.
