Schiffahrt

Photographie - Photographen – Das Kabinenfahrgast-Schiff wurde bei Blohm & Voss in Hamburg gebaut und 1937 zu Wasser gelassen. Eine Besonderheit der von Woldemar Brinkmann entworfenen Innenausstattung war, dass die Kabinen für die Passagiere und die Besatzung baulich gleich waren. Das 208 Meter lange Schiff hatte Platz für 1471 Passagiere und 426 Besatzungsmitglieder. Obwohl das Schiff als Passagierschiff konzipiert wurde, hatte man z.B. die Aufzüge mit Hinblick auf Nutzung als Hospitalschiff an Krankenhausbetten angepasst. Nach Kriegsbeginn wurde die Wilhelm Gustloff dann als Lazarettschiff genutzt und 1945 von einem sowjetischen U-Boot versenkt. - Die Photographien zeigen die Innenausstattung und das Schiff, sowie auch Bilder vom Bau eines Schiffs. - Leichte Randläsuren. Insgesamt sehr gut erhaltene Sammlung.

Photography – Shipping. - Collection of 39 photographs of the ship Wilhelm Gustloff. Circa 1940. Silver gelatin prints, mostly on Agfa-Brovira paper. - The cabin passenger ship was built at Blohm & Voss in Hamburg and launched in 1937. A special feature of the interior, designed by Woldemar Brinkmann, was that the cabins for passengers and crew were structurally identical. The 208-meter-long ship had space for 1,471 passengers and 426 crew members. Although the ship was designed as a passenger ship, features such as the elevators were adapted for use as a hospital ship, designed to accommodate hospital beds. After the outbreak of war, the Wilhelm Gustloff was used as a hospital ship and sunk by a Soviet submarine in 1945. - The photographs show the interior and the ship itself, as well as images of the ship's construction. - Minor marginal lesions. Overall, a very well-preserved collection.
