The Adjutant was a coastal steamer built in 1899 for the German East Africa Line .
history
In 1899, the German East Africa Line procured the Adjutant, a steamer that was better adapted to the actual conditions of the African coastal waters for its liner service on the African coast , as the ships previously used were too big for the local conditions.
In December 1899, the shipyard delivered the ship to the shipping company. The adjutant had space for six passengers.
At the end of 1904 the ship was transferred to the Woermann Line , which used it as President Barclay off the West African coast until the end of 1906 . The ship named after the Liberian President Arthur Barclay was sold at the end of 1906 to the shipping company W. Kunstmann in Stettin , where it was used under the name Werner Kunstmann .
In 1912 the steamer was resold to Portugal to the Empresa de Servicio Costeira from Lisbon , where it ran under the name Lisboa . In 1914 she sold the steamer to the Companhia União Fabril (CUF) in Lisbon, which kept the name. The chemical company CUF, which is still active today, owned the Lusitano in addition to the Lisboa , which they both used in the country's coastal shipping. There they transported fertilizers, pyrites and phosphates produced by the CUF between the individual locations of the company. When the Lisboa sailed into the port of Barreiro in 1928 , she ran into a rock that severely damaged the ship. The Lisboa was first launched and scrapped in Lisbon in 1930.
