The Hamburg America Line ran cruises along the Côte d'Azur in the winters between 1904 and the outbreak of the First World War. The ship pictured here bears the name Prinzessin Heinrich, above her paddle wheel; however, the actual Prinzessin Heinrich which plied this route, only had one funnel. She was acquired by the Hamburg America Line in 1904. This is the English version. Riviera 14.
