This is the French Line passenger ship that carried Gottlieb Stotzer to the USA. The ship departed Le Harve, France on April 25, 1903 and arrived at Ellis Island on May 4, 1903. This photo of the ship in earlier times was taken at Port Said, Egypt, 26 June - 11 July 1898, while the ship was serving with Rear Admiral Manuel de la Camara's squadron, which had been sent to relieve the Philippines.
This ship was the former Hamburg-Amerika Line Normannia, purchased by Spain for war service in 1898. After the Spanish- American War, she became the French Line's L'Aquitaine and was scrapped in 1906.
