This is what is posted on TSL about the ship:
The SCANDIA was a 4,243 gross ton ship, built for the Hamburg America Line in 1889 by A.G.Vulcan, Stettin. Her details were - length 370.7ft x beam 44.3ft, one funnel, two masts, single screw and a speed of 14 knots. There was capacity for 30-1st and 1,400-3rd class passengers. Laid down as the SCANDINAVIA, she was launched on 24th Aug.1889 as the SCANDIA and sailed from Hamburg on her maiden voyage to New York and Philadelphia on 5th Nov.1889. Her last Hamburg - New York voyage started on 27th Sep.1896, and in 1898 she became the US Army transport WARREN. She was destroyed by fire in dock in 1924 and was scrapped. [North Atlantic Seaway by N.R.P. Bonsor, vol.1, p.396]

My ancestors came to the USA on this ship in 1890. It's taken me a long time to find a picture of the HPAG SS Scandia, the only photo I could find of the vessel is after the US Army purchased the ship as a transport and painted the hull white and renamed the ship "Warren". I also located pictures of the Scandia's two other sister ships which look identical to the Scandia only they where never used as transports so they look like real passenger ships.

Who exactly is it that you are seeking information about?My grandmother was born on that same voyage on November 27, 1892. Her name was Scandia Steiner. If that is who you are looking for then undoubtedly we are related. her married name was Burke and my grandfather was William James Burke. My brother has the photo of the ship SS Scandia that she had in her living room until she passed away at which time my mother got it and upon her passing it went to my younger brother who has it proudly on display in his living room |
