Imperator-class ocean liner
The ''Imperator'' class ocean liners were a series of three ocean liners designed for the Hamburg America Line, commonly known as ''HAPAG''. These three ships were commissioned by the chairman of HAPAG Albert Ballin. Namely the ''Imperator'' (1912), the ''Vaterland'' (1913) and the largest, the ''Bismarck'' (1914). These liners were over 50,000 tons, sported three funnels and had a length ranging from 906 ft (276 m) to 955.8 ft (291.3 m). To this day, the ''Vaterland'' is the largest passenger ship operated by a German shipping company.
==Background==
The Hamburg America Line was one of two German shipping companies which operated transatlantic crossings, the other being North German Lloyd. The latter had had much success with the advent of their so-called ''Kaiser class ocean liners'', the first of which was the ''Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse''. Lloyd soon had a fleet of four liners with weekly transatlantic crossings on offer. By the turn of the century, HAPAG had only one flagship the ''Deutschland''. Though successful, the ''Deutschland'' could not rival the "Four Flyers" owned by Lloyd. HAPAG soon added the ''Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria'' to their fleet which was the largest ship in the world at its launch in August 1906. British competition was also fierce, Cunards ''Lusitania'' launched in 1906 followed by her sister ''Mauretania'' were an instant success and by 1910, the new ''Olympic class ocean liners'' of White Star were nearing completion.
