The Hudson was the third seagoing ship of the North German Lloyd (NDL). She ran on 12 June 1858 at the shipyard Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company in Jarrow on the Tyne in northern England from the stack . The Weser (I), also built at this shipyard in 1858, was a sister ship.

Technical specifications

The Hudson was a barque rigged sailing ship with a steam engine and iron hull. With a length of 93.6 m, a width of 12.2 m and a draft of 7.92 m , she had a measurement of 2,270 GRT. She could carry a total of 620 passengers, 100 of them in the first class, 120 in the second class and 400 in the intermediate deck . She was propelled by a twin steam engine built at the shipyard, which gave the ship a speed of 10 knots . The steam was generated in four suitcase boilers equipped with flame tubes.

history

The maiden voyage from Bremerhaven to New York began on September 11, 1858 . During the equipment for the second voyage in Bremerhaven, a fire broke out in the night of November 2nd to 3rd, 1858. He destroyed the ship to the waterline, after which it was towed to the shipyard and rebuilt there. After the repair, the Hudson only had one chimney.

The ship was sold to the Fernie Brothers' Guion Line in 1862 , who renamed it Louisiana . A year later, the National Steam Navigation Company in Liverpool took over the Guion Line and continued to employ Louisiana without renaming it: on February 4, 1864, the Louisiana set off on its first voyage from Liverpool via Queenstown ( Ireland ) to New York .

In 1869/70 the ship was lengthened to 120.4 m and equipped with compound steam engines from James Jack & Company. After the conversion, the ship was measured at 3847 GRT. It was put back into service in 1870 under the new name Holland . After a final sale to French owners in 1893, the ship was finally scrapped in 1894.
