SS Weser (1867)

The SS Weser was a German passenger steamship built in 1867 by Caird & Company of Greenock, Scotland for Norddeutscher Lloyd (NDL), one of Germany's major shipping companies. She primarily served on NDL's transatlantic route between Bremen and New York City, transporting passengers, mail, and cargo.

The Weser was a typical iron-hulled steamer of her era, designed for speed and carrying capacity. She contributed to the burgeoning transatlantic trade during the late 19th century, catering to both immigrants seeking new lives in America and commercial interests moving goods between Europe and the United States.

The Weser continued service for several years until eventually being retired from the transatlantic route due to the introduction of newer and larger ships by NDL. The precise date of her decommissioning or sale is not readily available in all records, but she was replaced by more modern vessels as technology advanced in shipbuilding. The Weser's career reflects the evolution of transatlantic steamship travel during a period of significant growth and innovation.
