    This was the VADERLAND, built by Palmers Shipbuilding & Iron Co,
    Jarrow-on-Tyne. She was a 2,748 gross ton ship, length 320.5ft x beam
    38.5ft, one funnel, three masts, iron construction, single screw and a
    speed of 13 knots. Unusually for this time, she had her engines (and
    funnel) aft and was designed for the bulk carriage of petroleum and
    passengers but never carried the former. There was accommodation for 30-1st
    (later increased to 70) and 800-3rd class passengers.
    Launched on 21st Aug.1872 for the Red Star Line of Antwerp, she sailed from
    Antwerp on her maiden voyage to Falmouth, Halifax and Philadelphia on 20th
    Jan.1873. On 25th Mar.1873 she started her first Antwerp - Philadelphia
    direct sailing and on 29th Nov.1876 commenced her first Antwerp - New York
    voyage. Between 1877-87 she sailed between Antwerp and New York or
    Philadelphia, starting her last New York voyage on 26th Oct.1887,
    subsequently sailing to Philadelphia until in March 1889 she was sold to
    French owners and renamed GEOGRAPHIQUE. She was sunk in collision in
    Oct.1889.[North Atlantic Seaway by N.R.P.Bonsor, vol.2,p.849-50]
