Books about SS Columbus Europa and Bremen

[Danny Adrianus Post]

Which books deal exclusively with the German liners Europa, Bremen and Columbus? I just bought Europa and Bremen by Frank O. Braynard but it was severely lacking in pictures. Such a disappointment.

I am currently reading Shadow Voyage about Bremen's escape to Germany, but are these the only two current titles besides some very old books from the Nazi era that I already have?

I think Maxtone-Grahame undertook the three liners to a small degree. Mind you, Columbus was not a sister shipt, but was rebuilt to conform to the appearance of the Bremen and Europa so as to give the impression of a trio of ships. I find the Gustloff looked remarkably like the Bremen and Europa, although a motor liner.

Danny- Bremen and Europa each had a lavish hardbound volume of interior photos and artwork issued in the early 1930s. If you can find either, you need not buy any other books!

Yes I know Columbus was not a real sister ship, but she did run in consort with Bremen and Europa. And yes Jim, I saw these books on eBay, but I haven't seen one in a long time. But I did find out there is a book in German about these liners and one more in English titled Ocean Express. Did you get my pics Jim?

Or maybe Ocean Express is the book you are referring to, Jim? It's from 1932.
