SS EUROPA 

• This is a Real Photo Postcard
• Posted at sea in 1932.  Postmark has Deutsch - Amerik. Seeposta - Bremen - New York and in the flag killer it has D Europa N. D. (the L isn't much more than a bit of ink on the stamp)
• Titled:  Turbinen - Schneildampfer ,,Europa" und ,,Bremen"
• Ocean Comfort Company m. b. H., Bremerhaven / Echte Photographie 
• My research showed that it was a German Ocanliner built for Norddeutsche Lloyd Line (NDL).  The SS Bremen was the sister ship to the SS Europa.  They were 2 of the most advanced, high speed Steam Turbine Ocean Vessels in their day.  It was claimed by the US Navy as a war prize in 1945 and went out of service in 1946.  Being turned over to the French Line in 1946, and becoming the SS Liberte.  It was scrapped in 1963.
• Please note that the majority of the cards are over 50 years old and as such, are sold AS IS. Tears will be noted but it would be too timely to note each fault on every card. If condition is important to you - contact us with our number in the title & what it is that you would like to know or what it is that you would like pictured more closely.
• Because of the age of the cards - they are noted as being USED - no matter if they are written on or not.
