SS Dresden (1884)

The SS Dresden was a German passenger steamship built in 1884 by AG Vulcan Stettin. She was owned and operated by Norddeutscher Lloyd (NDL), a major German shipping company. Dresden primarily served on routes between Bremen and New York City, transporting passengers and cargo across the Atlantic. She was a typical vessel of her time, built for comfort and speed, catering to both first-class and steerage passengers. In addition to transatlantic service, she also likely served other routes within NDL's network. Details about her specific dimensions, passenger capacity, and service history beyond her main transatlantic voyages are varied in sources, but she was an important part of NDL's fleet during the late 19th century. The Dresden was eventually sold and scrapped, as was common for ships of that era, with newer and larger vessels replacing them.
