File:Ein Tagebuch in Bildern Preussen.jpg

Please help identify whether File:Ein Tagebuch in Bildern Preussen.jpg is a photo of SMS Preussen (1873).--The Master (talk) 01:08, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's certainly a passenger ship; this photo purports to show a ship named Preussen in Genoa in 1902 - this Preussen had long-since been reduced to a harbor ship in Wilhelmshaven by that point (and more importantly, the two ships don't resemble each other at all). We don't have any articles on any passenger ships by that name, but the Encyclopaedia of Ships and Shipping mentions one steamer named Preussen that was owned by Norddeutscher Lloyd (it is also listed on that article in the table toward the bottom), which is probably the ship in the photo. The only other civilian Preussen I'm aware of is a 5-masted clipper ship, and this one is very clearly a steamer. Parsecboy (talk) 11:35, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
