S. S. Hamburg
The S. S. Hamburg is the ship that broght Ida (Blank) Salchow and her son Alfred to America in 1928. The following year Fritz Blank and the Koski family sailed on the same ship.

She was build in 1926 in Hamburg, Germany, and served a passenger liner until WW-II, when she was requisitioned by the German navy and used as floating accomodations, first in Kiel, later in Danzig and Gotenhafen. In 1945 she was sunk by a mine off of Sassnitz. Refloated in 1950, she was converted into a whale oil factory. She was scrapped in the USSR in the mid-1970s.
