Passenger Ship List: Neckar

Norddeutscher Lloyd Bremen

Neckar 1901-1927

by Paul S. Valasek

Named for the German River which flows through Heidelberg, this ship is the second of the NDL line to bear this name. Originally built in 1901, its capacity was 1st class, 148, 2nd class, 116, and steerage 2500. Later expanded in 1905 to hold 2nd class 369, third class, 217 and steerage, 2865, this ship had its maiden voyage April 5, 1901 to New York. Used as a troop transport for German troops of the Boxer Rebellion in China, the Neckar was later used by many Eastern European Immigrants. It was seized by the US government in June 1917 and renamed the Antigone, when it served as a US transport. Renamed the Potomac after World War I, it now served to bring many more Eastern European immigrants to North America starting in May 1921 sailing from Bremen and Danzig (Gdansk) to New York. In February 1927, the ship was sent to Baltimore for scrapping.

My great-grandfather Antoni Kostrubala arrived on this ship in Baltimore from Bremen only 2 weeks after this particular sailing which PolishRoots has listed for you. His wife and three sons (my grandfather), came to New York a year later, in 1913. The following names are from an original passenger list booklet for the sailing of the Neckar from Bremen to New York, September 26, 1912. Most likely, they are first and second class passengers. As many names are of non-Polish travelers, please take a look and share this page with any of your friends who may be looking for German, Czech, or Hungarian passengers.
