The' enterprise was. begun with a capital of 112,500 dollars, divided into 60 'shares of equal value, and taken up by 41 shareholders. The greatest number, owned by one individual was four. Four.-small sailing vessels were built, three in Germany and one in England, costing on an average about 20,C00 dollars each. - The first three were mimed Deultschland, Rheiiv, and Amerika. The Deutschiand was the largest, and had accommodation for 2CO immigrants and 20 cabin passengers. Six years later five more sailing vessels were added, each with accommodation: [ for 250 passengers.• In 1856 the first • screw steamer, the Borussia", 2349 - tons, was placed in commission, and from that time on, the company ■ abandoned sail for steam.' - To-day this line owns 408 vessels, 179 of which: are "large ocean steamers, with a tonnage of .1,210,717, and, if the vessels of all the . companies in. which , true. Hamburg-American Line holds' interest were - included, the tonnage would .exceed 2,000,000. : WIRELESS FROM REMUERA.
