The Adler was one of a total of six passenger ships that North German Lloyd put into service between 1857 and 1858. in October 1857 she made her maiden voyage from Nordenham to London . In 1866 the Adler was lengthened by 7.9 meters in order to offer passengers more space and to increase the loading capacity. In 1872 their machinery was modernized.
In 1881, the North German Lloyd sold the now outdated ship - together with the seagull , the swallow and the swan - to Det Forenede D / S in Copenhagen , which continued to use it as a passenger ship and freighter under the name Romny . After another change of ownership in 1900, the former Adler was decommissioned in February 1909 and scrapped in Boulogne-sur-Mer .
