The Wireless Telegraph Service.
The Wireless Station on board is almost daily in communication with all parts of the world either directly through the shore-stations, or indirectly by means of passing ships. The names of the shore-stations and of the ships with which communication is expected during the day, are posted every morning in different parts of the ship.
The address of a telegram from shore to a ship at sea must be drawn up as follows:
- Name of receiver with any necessary addition
- Name of the ship and her nationality
- Name of the shore-station by the intermediary of which the telegram is to be forwarded
At the conclusion of the address of wireless telegrams the service word "Radio`" must be added, for example:
Paul Muller, Cleveland, German, N or d d ei eh, Radio. Telegrams from one ship to another only require the exact names of the passenger and the steamer.
All desired information regarding possibility of transmission, duration of transit and tariffs can be obtained on application to the Wireless Station on board, which is situated on the Sun-Deck of this steamer or from the Deutsche Betriebsgesellschaft fur drahtlose Telegraphic m. b. H., 9, Tempelhofer Ufer, Berlin SW., Telephone: Nollendorf, 910-916, Telegraphic Address "Debeg".

The wireless service on board all the steamers of the HamburgAmerika Linie is attended to by the Deutsche Betriebs-Gesellschaft far drahtlose Telegraphic m. b. H., Berlin. Inquiries, claims, etc. should be addressed to this Company only, and not to the Hamburg-Amerika Linie, which undertakes no responsibility whatsoever for the wireless telegraphservice.

Travellers' Checks Payable everywhere
issued by the Hamburg-Amerika Linie.
The Most Desirable Means of Carrying Funds Abroad.
Combining both Safety and Convenience.
We issue Travellers' Checks in denominations of 50, 100 and A 200 in Germany and of $ 10, $ 20, $ 50 and $ 100 in U. S. of America.
These Checks will not be accepted on board the steamers of the Hamburg-Amerika Linie for any purpose other than in payment of passage, or of bills incurred on board. Nor must the denomination of the check greatly exceed the amount of the bill. The checks cannot, however, be cashed on board, as the Pursers and Chief Stewards on the steamers usually have only a small amount of ready money at their disposal.
In order, however, to offer Passengers facilities for cashing such checks immediately upon arrival or departure of the steamers, we have established a portable bank on our piers at Hoboken. This bank will be placed near the gangway upon arrival and departure of steamers. Hamburg-Amerika Linie Travellers' Checks as well as those of all other institutions for any amount, will be cashed without deduction.
Arrangements have also been made for a Foreign Money Exchange in this bank. All foreign moneys will be bought and sold at current rates of exchange.
Porter Service
Uniformed attendants to carry baggage to and from our docks and arrange small details of travel for a nominal fee.
For the convenience of ocean travelers by our line, and in order to eliminate the extortion that has been practised by some of the public porters, we have inaugurated a service of attendants to carry hand-baggage and perform similar services for our patrons.
On days when our steamers arrive and sail, a staff of porters, wearing gray uniforms, upon the collars of which the word "Attendant" appears, and red caps bearing "Hamburg America Line" bands, will be stationed at our docks, the ferries and railroad terminals in Hoboken, to assist Passengers. A fixed nominal charge, as per schedule is made for the service between our piers and the following points:
Lackawanna Railroad or Ferries in Hoboken $ —.25 " —.10 I for one or two
Hudson Terminal Station in Hoboken . " —.35 1 packages
Any Hotel in Hoboken . . . . " —.35 I per package
Any other point in Hoboken . " —.50 for one or two
Jersey City and Jersey City Heights... " —.75 1.— 1.— 1.50 packages
Greenville, Bayonne and West Hoboken ..
Pennsylvania and Erie Railroads, Jersey City New Jersey Central and B. & O. Railroads West Shore Railroad, Weehawken
Grand Central Station, New York .
New York Hotels, below 50th Street New York Hotels, above 50th Street
The attendants will accompany Passengers to any part of New York to carry baggage, call carriages, and perform similar services. If a passenger will write or telegraph us, or telephone our office (1900 Rector) or our piers at Hoboken (770 Hoboken), one of the attendants will be sent to his home or hotel.
As the porters are conversant with all formalities on the piers, the usual confusion upon arrival and departure practically will be eliminated, thus relieving the passenger of all annoyance and worry and avoiding loss of time. This service is especially valuable to large parties and ladies traveling alone, who can now make the journey to ours piers, without anxiety.

arranged by the Hamburg-Amerika Linie
pleasure Cruises were inaugurated by the Hamburg -Amerika Linie 21 years ago, and since then, they have rapidly approached perfection through the frequent introduction of fresh itineraries and the judicious use of all newly gained experience.
The largest of the steamers appointed by the Hamburg-Amerika Linie to carry out pleasure-cruises is the twin-screw steamer "Victoria Luise", which was thoroughly overhauled and re-constructed, so as to specially adapt her for her purpose.
Thus the "Victoria Luise" was fitted with the anti-rolling tanks invented by the German shipbuilder Frahm, whereby the movement of the ship is considerably reduced. In addition to the roomy promenade-decks stretching along the whole length of the ship, the large ball-room, the gymnasium, swimming-baths for ladies and gentlemen, and a medical-bath-establishment are deserving of special mention.
The Hamburg-Amerika Linie brought about a considerable extension of their pleasure-cruise service by commissioning the twin-screw steamer "Meteor", which was specially built for pleasure-cruising. Notwithstanding all the modern conveniences with which this steamer is fitted, her type of build. and the comparatively small outlay required to work and maintain her, make it possible to reduce the fares for her cruises to a minimum. The "Meteor" is also provided with anti-rolling tanks and is fitted with spacious and comfortable saloons.
The Company also employ in the pleasure-cruise service their favorite twin-screw steamers "Bliicher", "Cleveland", "Cincinnati", "Moltke", "Kronprinzessin Cecilie" whenever required.
Furnished with such an excellent fleet, as is represented by these steamers the Hamburg-Amerika Linie is able to draw up a pleasure-cruise programme for 1913, which in variety surpasses the most successful undertakings of previous years.
All particulars concerning the itineraries and fares, are contained in the special pamphlets of the Hamburg-Amerika Linie, which may be obtained from the purser on board.

They are built of the best steel, and are provided with 5 steel decks and a double bottom extending the entire length of the ship, which latter is sub-divided into numerous water-tight chambers, and the hull itself is divided into I 1 watertight compartments. Two wellbalanced high and low pressure engines of the quadruple expansion type, which are supplied with steam from three double and three single boilers, give these vessels a speed of about 15 1/2 knots.
They have the capacity for about

For the safety of the vessel, the doors of the water-tight compartments have been equipped with automatic hydraulic devices, enabling the Captain to close all the doors in a few seconds from the bridge. The vessels have also been equipped with sub-marine bell systems, fire extinguishers, a complete fire alarm system, steam pumps, etc.
