TitleNorth German Lloyd Line ship named Constantinople, King Alexander II
Date Created1920-1929
SubjectGreek Americans, Shipbuilding, Shipyards, Ships
DescriptionConstantinople, King Alexander II (same ship), built in 1896 in Germany by the North German Lloyd Line and originally named the Bremen. Operated as the Bremen until after World War One when Germany ceded it to Great Britain, it was purchased by the Byron Line in 1920. Byron renamed it the Constantinople because it ran service between Turkey, Greece and New York from 1921 to 1924. In 1923, the Byron Line sold its first ship named the King Alexander, which had been the largest Greek passenger liner, to the United American Lines. Desiring to continue honoring the late King, the company changed the name of the Constantinople to the King Alexander. It was withdrawn from service in 1925, c.1920's.
