I have an abstract of log for the voyage of the Kronprinz Wilhelm from NY to Plymouth leaving June 3, 1902 and arriving June 9, 1902. The log states it was a world's record time of 5 days, 11 hours, 32 minutes at a speed of 23.53knots. In the book "Majesty at Sea" by Shaum and Flayhart it states the following about this trip on page 19: "In June 1902 an incident occurred which caused some embarrassment to NDL as the captain (Richter)was a little generous in his calculations of the liner's time and distance with the result that NDL claimed a record.....Albert Ballin...publicly questioned the figures with the result in August 1902 that NDL and HAPAG signed a declaration that Deutschland still retained the record. Kronprinz Wilhelm did complete a record westbound passage on arrival in NY on Sept. 16, 1902 of 5 days, 11 hours, 57 minutes at 23.09knots. The Kronprinz Wilhelm was never able to secure the eastbound record."
