Columbus (2) - pre 1929

Norddeutscher Lloyd steamship built 1922 at Danzig by F. Schichau. Originally laid down as the "Hindenburg" in 1913 but not complete due to the WW1. When the ship was completed in 1922, it was decided to name her Columbus (2) instead of Hindenburg. In 1929 the ship was rebuilt and re-engined, and her funnels shortened. On this image the ship is shown with the tall funnels as fitted prior to the rebuilding. This image is from an old postcard.
