The Thalia was a passenger and cargo ship of the Austrian Lloyd built in Scotland and put into service in 1886 , which, after being converted from 1907 as a cruise ship , mainly operated in the Mediterranean and the European Arctic Ocean, from 1919 to 1922 at Lloyd Triestino . Then she drove under the Italian name Dalia for the Trieste shipping company Tripcovich . In 1926 it was scrapped .
Construction and commissioning at Österreichischer Lloyd
- Trieste-Alexandria liner service
Built of steel steamer Thalia , which after the Muse of Greek mythology to comic poetry and Entertainment baptized had expired on July 5, 1886 at the shipyard William Denny and Brothers in the Scottish Dumbarton under the yard number 314 from the stack . The two-masted passenger and cargo ship had a volume of 2,371 GRT and an engine output of 2,554 hp . The Thalia had 70 beds in 1st class and 24 in 2nd class and was commissioned by the Austro-Hungarian Lloyd Steamship Company in 1886, the year of its 50th anniversary.
SS Thalia mainly used the express line Trieste- Alexandria , which was also used to transport mail, and was also used for separate pleasure trips in the Adriatic.
- Charter trip for the travel agency Carl Stangen (1898)
She was chartered by the Berlin travel agency Carl Stangen for October / November 1898 in order to transport predominantly German passengers from church circles to Jerusalem, after the previously offered seats on the SS Bohemia were fully booked (see the adjacent picture of a menu from the trip and a postcard to a trip participant). This trip was in connection with the Palestine trip of the German Emperor Wilhelm II. , Which he completed together with the participating court on his own German ships ( Hohenzollern , Herta and Hela ) to visit the Church of the Redeemer in Jerusalem on Reformation Day (October 31st) 1898 to initiate. The Thalia tickets cost between 1,200 and 1,400 marks, depending on the location of the cabins .
In 1903 minor alterations were made; u. a. the rigging of the two masts has been simplified.
Conversion to a cruise ship
As early as 1891, the German shipping company HAPAG under Albert Ballin organized the first cruise on the Augusta Victoria to improve the utilization of the ship in the winter months.
The idea of a cruise was later also taken up by Österreichischer Lloyd. After the first trips with the SS Bohemia (commissioned in 1896) and the Thalia itself were carried out quite successfully in 1906, the latter was converted into a cruise ship by November 1906 under the direction of chief engineer Dussich; “Cook's Welt-Reise-Zeitung” reports in its November 1906 issue, with a detailed description of the new ship's equipment, of the completion of the renovation work.
Furnishing
After its renovation, in which the two masts were retained, the ship was one of the leading international passenger ships. It had four decks , a uniform cabin class, a tonnage of 3,188 GRT and a speed of 14 knots . The Thalia was Lloyd's first "white ship" - but the funnel was yellow and the underwater hull was green. The Mediterranean Baedeker of 1909, together with the SS Great Elector of North German Lloyd and Meteor and Moltke of HAPAG , ranked them among the “elegant pleasure boats” of cruise tourism in the Mediterranean.
Boat deck A
The drawing room with lounge and bar as well as a veranda were on the boat deck . Here in the foredeck were the cabins for the captain and officers ( 1st to 3rd) including the radio room (" Marconi station"), above which the bridge deck rose, as well as 6 lifeboats , a motorboat and a steam launch amidships .
Promenade deck B
With music from the on-board band in the music salon, which was made of dark red rosewood in the English style, and in the smoking salon, passengers could relax on the promenade deck . Palm trees and other exotic foliage plants were set up in a sheltered glass veranda . After all, this deck also offered accommodation in four luxury cabins (state rooms) aft .
Upper deck C
The upper deck served the culinary supply of passengers and crew. From the passenger kitchen on the starboard side, sophisticated dishes were prepared, which were taken in the large, neo-renaissance style dining room in white and gold for 180 people at tables with 6 to 16 seats. The latter was followed by cabins for passengers and the head waiter , while in front of and bow side u. a. the on-board doctor hired by the shipping company, who initially offered his services free of charge, lodged the on- board pharmacy and the “ barber ”, and additional cabins were available for passengers and machinists .
Main deck D
The main deck accommodated almost exclusively passenger cabins, bathrooms and toilets as well as the luggage compartment. The waiters' bedrooms and the darkroom were still in the foredeck .

Example of a cabin price list (1913)

The total of 99 passenger cabins were offered in 4 categories:
- 4 luxury cabins with saloon, bedroom and bathroom access (1913: 2 luxury cabins)
- Single cabins with one bed and adjoining bathroom
- Cabins with two beds
- Cabins with one bed.
After initially two bathrooms were available to passengers in all 4 luxury cabins on the promenade deck, after the conversion of 2 luxury cabins into two single and two twin cabins, one bathroom was dedicated exclusively to luxury cabin 5/6 and the other bathroom was for general use.
When booking the luxury cabins, a slightly higher fee was due. So this cost z. E.g. for a trip from April 11th to May 12th 1913 on the route "Trieste-Morocco-Canary Islands-Genoa" with bath 4,000 kroner and without 3,600 kroner . Depending on the deck, one-bed cabins had to pay between 940 and 1,700 kroner and two-bed cabins 1,440 to 3,000 kroner - the servants 480 kroner (per bed) - whereby the purchasing power of one krona was about 5 euros .
modernization
The cabin and deck equipment was later slightly modernized, as can be seen from the different deck plans from 1907, immediately after the commissioning of the Thalia, which had been converted into a cruise ship, and in 1913, when it was only a short time in cruise operation due to the First World War . For example, if the lounge (boat deck A) still had two continuous couches, it later became 6 separate seating niches, or the travel guide's cabin (upper deck C) became the “commissioner's office” and “Cooks travel guide” cabin without sleeping accommodation. The radio room (“ Marconi station ”) on deck A was relocated from the forecastle to the veranda.

Preliminary remarks
As the "yacht for pleasure cruises" so called by the shipping company, the Thalia completed its maiden voyage under Captain Karl Freiherr von Bretfeld after the conversion to a cruise ship from Trieste to Palestine and Egypt and back on 14.02. until 03/10/1907. This was followed by a special trip for journalists from March 12 to 14, 1907 on the route Trieste, Venice , Lussin , Fiume , Abbazia and back, in order to make the converted ship known to a wider public. Twelve more followed this trip in 1907. The last carried passengers even around the turn of the year 1907/1908.
In the following years, Thalia usually invited 9 to 11 cruise trips through the Mediterranean, the North and Baltic Seas and the European Arctic Ocean , which came to an abrupt end with the outbreak of the First World War. Between February 1907 and the beginning of World War I , the Thalia made a total of 81 voyages, covering around 250,000 nautical miles. The sea voyages should serve both pleasure and health care. In the Viennese tourism industry , the Lloyd's chief physician, Artur Castiglioni, informed the reader in 1908 in the article “Recreational trips to the sea” about the state of thalassomedicine at that time and thus recruited passengers for Thalia .
Pleasure rides
Due to the climatic conditions, the trips of the Thalia followed a roughly constant annual cycle that was only slightly varied. As an example for the cruise programs, they can be read from the following list. This was taken from a brochure of the Austrian Lloyds (Trieste) for the planned ten "pleasure trips of the 'Thalia' in the year 1909". In fact, there were even eleven trips with probably slightly changed dates, like a brochure for the almost three-week XI. Pleasure trip from Trieste via Corfu and Malta to Tunis and back from October 6th to 24th, 1909 occupied. A detailed list of all trips of Thalia during their eight years of use as a cruise ship is in the below ride table specified.

Polar cruises
As early as the summer of 1907, the Thalia was chartered by the Wismar tour operator Kapt. Bades Söhne for two trips to Norway and Spitzbergen in July and August, which began in Kiel. According to Bades advertising for the trips, two four-week tours to Spitsbergen were announced. In fact, the first only went to Trondheim and lasted only 14 days. The second, four-week journey from July 20 to August 17 then led to Spitzbergen under difficult polar ice conditions . After the Isfjord , the Smeerenburgfjord and the Walter Wellmans camp on Danskøya were visited, where in August 1907 the American was waiting for good weather for a trip with his airship to the North Pole. The Thalia then drove to the pack ice border at 80 ° 15 ′ north and turned around there. In the Sassenfjord, guests were also given the opportunity to hunt. Bades' wife is said to have also taken part in this trip to meet young American travelers and others. a. Wellmann's daughters Ruth and Rita to take under their wing. According to the passenger list, fellow travelers were the doctors Carl Fraenkel from Halle and Walther Kausch from Berlin as well as the Freiberg mayor at the time and later mayor of Dresden, Bernhard Blüher .
In the following years - with the exception of 1911 - Lloyd undertook its own North Sea voyages in July and August. Only these months were climatically suitable for the passage. The passengers in the area of the North Pole were also able to experience the White Nights . On the return trip of the cruise in August 1908, the polar driver Theodor Lerner was also on board and met his future wife here.
Special trips for special groups of participants
Due to the very good equipment and the not too large number of cabins, the Thalia was predestined for special trips by associations and companies. They were able to book individual trips as part of the regular appointment calendar and use the ship for their purposes in a relatively personal atmosphere. A first journalist trip, which was inserted between the 1st and 2nd cruises in 1907, took place from March 12th to 14th, 1907. She should ensure the popularity of the steam yacht in the press. In the autumn of the same year, the first doctor's trip followed and in 1908 the so-called Schlaraffenfahrt , which became a regular VI. The cruise of the calendar took place in the second half of June and led from Trieste to Bremerhaven.

From October 6th to 8th, 1907, Lloyd organized with the participation of its general director Albert Frankfurter and the chief physician of the OIL, Dr. Castiglioni, the so-called I. Doctors trip. The more than 100 doctors invited to Thalia , especially internists and neurologists, from Austria ( Carl Ipsen , Gustav Lott, Karl Rokitansky, Hermann Zingerle), Hungary (Konrád Jenő) and Italy ( Achille Breda , D. Druetti) as well as the members of the press who also took part As a result of the three-day voyage that led to Abbazia , Lussinpiccolo , Zara and Pola , they were supposed to promote the beneficial effects of sea voyages in an effective manner. The Neue Wiener Tagblatt dated October 11, 1907, provided a detailed travel report with a focus on thalassomedicine , to which two photographs were added a few days later from the Wiener Bilder . On the occasion of the trip, the well-known Austrian medalist Ludwig Hujer designed a commemorative plaque . It shows the goddess of health Hygieia with a sick person leaning on her on the beach, both of whom look out over the undulating sea with the bow of the Thalia .
This was followed by a journey from November 4 to December 4, 1909 via Greece to Alexandria - from there up the Nile to Aswan - and via Dalmatia back to Trieste (II). Finally, from November 5 to December 6, 1911, Lloyd had invited again to a doctors 'Mediterranean cruise (III. Doctors' trip).
In addition to the trips carried out by Lloyd primarily as promotional events, the medical community itself organized cruises using the Thalia . So there was u. a. a three-week trip organized by the Prague Medical Association in November 1908 and trips organized by a medical committee and the newspaper Reise und Sport in 1909 (North Africa), 1910 (Nordland) and August 1911 (Orient).
Club trip of the Schubertbund
The Schubertbund made a trip to the north with the participation of its choir directors Adolf Kirchl and Prof. Hans Wagner in June / July 1909. The Vice Mayor of Vienna Josef Neumayer also took part in the trip . The journey began in Świnoujście , where the members of the association had been brought by a special train from Vienna, and ended in Hamburg, where the return journey by train to Vienna Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof started on July 3rd . For this purpose, a booklet with a list of participants was published.
It was Thalia's first cruise on the Baltic Sea. The trip followed on from a first federal voyage with Captain von Bretfeld on SS Goritia in the Adriatic Sea in 1905 and on earlier concert tours of other Viennese orchestras on Lloyd ships. In March and April 1905, for example, the Vienna Men's Singing Association and SS Galicia carried out a trip to Egypt with concerts.
XIV. International Press Congress
From May 18 to 23, 1910, the XIVth International Press Congress took place at Thalia , attended by well-known reporters from all parts of the world.
Travel of the Austrian Fleet Association
The Austrian Fleet Association invited its members to at least 4 trips on OIL ships . From May 24 to June 24, 1912, the SS Thalia traveled from Genoa through the western Mediterranean to Amsterdam, on which the participating historian Hans Widmann reported in columns. The 4th Fleet Club trip then took place again in July 1913 with SS Thalia from Amsterdam to St. Petersburg , from where a separate sleeping car express brought travelers to visit Moscow . SS Thalia returned to the starting point via Denmark ( Copenhagen ), Sweden ( Gothenburg , Trollhättan Falls ) and the island of Helgoland . Alternatively, the participants could start their journey home from Heligoland with HAPAG via Hamburg .
Captain Karl von Bretfeld
Born on September 24, 1855 as the son of Emanuel Gabriel von Bretfeld zu Kronenburg and his wife, Caroline Barbara Theresia born. Freiin von Buol , née Karl Borromäus von Bretfeld, drove the Thalia on its voyages from the test drive in 1907 until the beginning of the First World War. He died at the beginning of March 1915 in the service of Lloyd in the Amsterdam port, where the ship was due to the war . He was buried in the Buitenveldert cemetery.
Ship doctor
In order to ensure the first medical care for passengers away from home in the event of illness, the ship's crew also included an on-board doctor, which was expressly pointed out in the travel brochures. The ÖL hired specialized ship doctors for this purpose. And as early as 1861 the ÖL publishing house had published a manual of shipping medicine written by Augusto Guastalla in Italian (Manuale d'Igenie e medicina navale) , with which the ÖL emphasized its special focus on this problem of sea voyages. Until 1913, Lloyd expressly offered the use of the board doctor as a free service. In the last prospectus for the first half of 1914, however, a fee payment by the passengers was noted.
Thalia March and board band
The Austrian Jewish composer Bernhard Kaempfner , who was to be expelled from the RMK in 1938 , created a Thalia March. It was played on many occasions by the board band, which was at times directed by Giuseppe Bamboschek . The piece of music was also on the title list of the captain's dinner on April 15, 1909 (see illustration of the music program).

Land programs on the cruises
The shore excursions as part of the cruises were not the responsibility of Lloyd. Rather, he made use of the Thos travel agency from the start . Cook & Son , with whom a corresponding framework agreement existed and which maintained a representative office on board for this purpose. The passengers were given standardized tickets for the excursions, numbered for the tours, which were made valid by a rubber stamp for a specific ship (here: SS Thalia) as a participant ID to be carried.
Home post
Messages could be transmitted to relatives by radio to Trieste during the journeys, from where they were sent by postcards to their home addresses stored there.
Booking of seats
When booking seats, a third of the passage had to be paid, the remaining price for the tickets had to be paid 8 days before departure of the steamer. Cancellations before the time of the final payment resulted in the loss of the deposit, later of the entire fare. In the event that a canceled cabin seat could still be allocated elsewhere, the down payment made could be offset against a later voyage with Lloyd.

Passengers could send their luggage in advance to Trieste, the forwarding department of Österreichischer Lloyd in Trieste, - when traveling from Kiel to the company Sartori & Berger , from Bremerhaven to the company Claussen & Wieting and from Genoa to the company V. Vanetti - stating the Send ship, date of departure and passenger name; however, it must have arrived a few days before the ship left. Otherwise you could have the luggage from the Trieste Südbahnhof, where the OIL had set up a branch for it, transported on board by the passenger department. For this a fee had to be paid according to the baggage tariff approved by the Triester Lieutenancy. The pieces of luggage (maximum dimensions 114 × 65 × 38) had to be clearly labeled. For this purpose, the ÖL provided baggage labels that were available in the Lloyd's passenger offices in Vienna and Trieste. The transport of luggage on board was free of charge, but was subject to a weight limit of 40 kg in the relevant first class. The bulky cabin suitcases customary at the time were dispensable due to a drawer box under the beds, which travelers were expressly advised of in the advertising materials. A small fee had to be paid for suitcases and other containers stored outside the cabin.

As a piece of information and souvenir for the participants of a trip, elaborately graphically designed passenger lists were also printed for Thalia's trips, in accordance with the custom of the time at the large cruise lines . They contained the names and places of residence of the passengers, among whom prominent people were often to be found (Fig.), As well as the composition of the ship's command under Captain von Bretfeld.
Average and miscellaneous
On the way back from the second Northern Seas 1908, which was also the engineer Viktor Kaplan participated, the ship ran Tromsø on August 24, about 60 km south due . The Norwegian pilot on board had overlooked a buoy due to the inadequate beacon regulations . After evacuating the passengers had initially been considered, the Thalia was released again after the seabed was blown up by a salvage ship without damaging the hull and was able to take up her home course. The event went through the Austrian press. Emil von Hofmannsthal provided a detailed description under the title The stranding of Thalia in the Prager Tagblatt.
Detour to Venice
For all cruises beginning and ending in Trieste, travelers were given the opportunity to use the Lloyd steamers on the Trieste-Venice line for one trip in both directions free of charge. The excursion had to be completed within 8 days before departure or after arrival of the SS “Thalia”.
Remaining in the First World War
After returning from the 2nd Nordland voyage in 1914 (VIII. Total voyage) via Helgoland, the Thalia was in the Amsterdam port on August 1, 1914 , i.e. in neutral territory , where it remained during the war. Her return trip to Trieste (planned arrival: September 23), which was planned for September 1, 1914, after the cancellation of the 3rd trip to the north in August 1914, was called a "bath trip" via Cowes (Isle of Wight), Biarritz and Lisbon as well as Tangier and Gibraltar should lead, could no longer take place. It was the same with the planned pleasure trip “To Dalmatia, Albania, Sicily and Tunis” from October 3rd to 19th, 1914 and the subsequent trips to the Mediterranean and the Adriatic. At least the Thalia survived the war in the Amsterdam harbor undamaged. There is a short eyewitness report from April 1915 about her unwanted stay in the port in the " Fremd – Blatt" . And in 1916 the renovation was already Thalia into a cargo ship announced the date for the trips of passengers in the Norwegian fjords used boat had already been sold to be used by the buyer as trawlers. In October 1918, the Thalia , which was still moored on Hafendamm , was no longer an attractive sight , according to a report by Paul Zahler , the features editor of the Neue Freie Presse . The luxury cabins and the sundeck had been dismantled.
Under the Italian flag
The Thalia was taken over by Lloyd Triestino in 1919 , where she left in 1922 and went to the Tripcovich SAN Rimorchi Salvataggi shipping company and from then on ran under the Italian name Dalia . By then she had already lost her gleaming white hull and many superstructures and was painted black again, just like when she was first commissioned. The ship was last entered in the ship's yearbook (Annuario navale) of 1926 for this shipping company. In the third quarter of 1926 the ship was scrapped .

Brochures
While Österreichischer Lloyd provided brochures for its liner services in the Adriatic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Near and Far East, which was largely not specific to the ship, as several ships were used here, it had special advertising prints made exclusively for this steamer for Thalia's cruises , with which the potential passengers were presented in different languages, such as German, Italian, French or Czech, the technical data of the ship, life on board, the routes including the ports to be approached as well as the travel conditions and fares. Usually a deck plan was also included. Many brochures on the lines in the Adriatic also contained more or less detailed information on the current Thalia program. An English-language brochure from the start of Thalia's cruise activities in 1907 shows that the cruises also focused on the travel audience from Great Britain, who traveled across the English Channel and then via Vienna by train, as early as 1907: Pleasure Trips. 1907 II.
Foreign tour operators also disseminated the current program of Thalia's pleasure trips in their own brochures, such as B. the German tour operator for Orientreisen Julius Bolthausen from Solingen.
Newspaper advertisements
The shipping company also advertised the Thalia's “pleasure trips” in various Austrian daily newspapers and magazines, such as Die Muskete .
Organizer stamps, postmarks
For additional glue on mail pieces from the board post were handled Thalia, there were so-called operator brands of the Austrian Lloyd for advertising purposes and as a tourist attraction, without Frankaturkraft, with the theme called "Spitsbergen," where a polar bear on a drifting in the Arctic Ocean ice floe , Seagulls and the Thalia were pictured. The stamps were in four different colors: blue, green, orange-red and purple. The frankings were mostly provided with day stamps by the Norwegian Post .
In some cases, postmarks from Österreichischer Lloyd with the number “LX” or the ship's name “Thalia” and unofficial stamps “Thalia-Bordpost” are also used for postmarks on board the Thalia. Spitzbergen ”(red) or“ On the high seas. S / S Thalia “(blue) in front.

Drawings by AL Mielich and Harry Heusser
The elegant Thalia was repeatedly depicted on postcards with sea or harbor motifs. Artistically designed representations created on behalf of Österreichischer Lloyd a. a. the oriental painter Alphons Leopold Mielich and the marine painter and graphic artist Harry Heusser , who provided templates for an extensive series of colored postcards with motifs from Lloyd ships around 1910. The commemorative publication “Seventy-five Years of Austrian Lloyd 1836–1911” also included a full-page colored drawing of Thalia von Heusser crossing a Norwegian fjord .

The Austrian travel writer Olga Meraviglia (1843–1933) has detailed descriptions of trips with the “Thalia”. So she took u. a. in the spring of 1910 at the III. and IV. pleasure trip “Easter in Palestine and Egypt” or “To North Africa, Spain, Canary Islands”, for which she had booked one of the four luxury cabins; The economist Eugen Böhm von Bawerk was also a passenger on the Easter trip . She reported on both trips in letters to a friend and then summarized the travel experiences in the book “A Mediterranean Voyage. It was furnished with photographs and published by Leykam Verlag in Graz . Intimate travel memories ”(see literature). As early as 1908 she had been on a trip to the north with the "Thalia".
Although the passengers preserved their memories of the cruises before the First World War mainly by buying picture postcards of the ships and the places they visited as well as keeping the travel brochures with corresponding pictures, because amateur photography was still in its infancy, private holiday photos are already there Time before. A private photo album has been preserved from Thalia's Easter trip to Tunis and Tripoli in 1913 (3rd trip) with 36 private photos in 9 × 12 cm format. In the foreground, however, were the travel destinations visited; the Thalia is only photographed once in the port of Gravosa. Interestingly, there are 2 large format group photos (18 × 24 cm) from Tunis of Thalia passengers, which, as evidenced by the stamp, were made by the atelier " Lehnert et Landrock " (Tunis), which is well known for its oriental photos and probably by the travel agency Thos. Cook & Son was commissioned to organize the shore excursions.
Films from a Thalia trip were also made, which were shown at the 2nd Rivierafest in May 1911 in the Vienna City Park in the “Kinotheater” of the Austro-Hungarian Cinema Industry Society.

Table of trips as a cruise ship (1907–1914)
The table shows the number of the journey given in the OIL brochures or other periodicals. The numbers of the two additional annual trips to the north of the country counted within the general count are in brackets. The duration of the trips is the planned one. There may be organizational or weather-related deviations from the actual duration of the trip, but this can no longer be verified in each individual case.

Thus there are a total of ten values ( figures ).

- ↑ a b Due to the chartering out of the ship, this voyage is not counted by Österreichischer Lloyd. The trip was organized by the Wismar-based tour operator Captain Bades Sons .
- ↑ With regard to the short-term first medical trip from October 6th to 8th, 1907, which was not previously announced in the printed program materials of the ÖL, the end of the trip originally scheduled by the ÖL for October 8th must have occurred by October 5th at the latest . With regard to the necessary cleaning and equipping of the ship for the following voyage, a much earlier point in time is likely. In any case, SS Thalia left Alexandria on September 29 ( Die Zeit, October 3, 1907 ).
- ↑ The trip was designed as a fun and study trip for officers at reduced participant prices ( Vaterland from September 20, 1908 anno.onb.ac.at ).
