Cruise ships - Meyer Werft

6
The yard‘s first passenger ship: paddle-steamer “Triton”, built
in 1874.
“Graf Goetzen”, freight and passenger steamer, built in 1914.
This ship by MEYER WERFT became world famous in the
Hollywood movie “African Queen”. After completion, the ship
was dismantled into individual parts and brought to Lake Tanganyika
in Africa, where it was reassembled again under the
supervision of engineers from MEYER WERFT. After nearly 90
years of service, the ship still operates today under the name
Liemba.
MEYER WERFT‘s first cruise ship. The “Homeric” for the Home Lines shipping company heralded the yard‘s successful start in
building cruise ships. Never before had a ship of this size been launched sideways.
