The Fleets
Deutsche Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft
Kosmos - DDG Kosmos
Deutsche Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft Kosmos was founded
on 28th November 1872 by Knöhr & Burchard and H.H. Eggers to exploit
a shipping line to the west coast of South America.
The first cargo steamers
were ordered before the foundation of DDG Kosmos by Knöhr & Burchard
and H.H. Eggers in England and were later transferred to DDG Kosmos.
The steamer KARNAK started her maiden voyage from Hamburg
to Chile and Peru on 4 October 1872, followed by the THEBEN in November
1872. The
THEBEN proved to be too small for the trade and was sold in 1873 to
Det Forenede DS, (DFDS), Copenhagen.
The KARNAK was wrecked in 1875 in Smyth Canal but salvaged, repaired
at Montevideo and bought back by the Company.
In 1877 The RAMSES joined the fleet and was built on a German shipyard.
Later the DDG Kosmos was also transporting passengers and the later
built ships had a modest passenger accommodation. Then in 1886 purchased
steamer
from Holland DENDERAH had bigger passenger accommodation. Because of
heavy competition with the German shipping company of A. Kirsten all
the later built ships got bigger and better passengers accommodation.
In 1901 the DDG Kosmos and the Hamburg Amerikanische Paket
Aktien Gesellschaft (Hapag) concluded a treaty to work together in the
South America trade. Also in 1901 the DDG Kosmos expanded their lines
to the west coast of North America and Canada.
Around 1910 the competition
of some newly built railways in South America became much heavier and
encouraged the Company to sell two newly built cargo passengers ships
the EDFU and ESNE to the Deutsche
Ost Afrika Linien.
When the first World
War ended the DDG Kosmos was without any ships.
On 22th June 1921 the DDG Kosmos and the Deutsch
Australische Dampfschiff Gesellschaft merged into the Deutsch Austral & Kosmos Linien
and the funnel marking changed from a black funnel into the Deutsch Australische
Australische Dampfschiff Gesellschaft colour. The Liner services were
placed under their own flag, to the Dutch East Indies. The Australia
service under Deutsch Australische Dampfschiff Gesellschaft flag and
to the west coast of North and South America the Kosmos flag.
On 30th
January 1926 the Deutsch Austral & Kosmos Linien merged with the Hugo
Stinnes Linien and on 24th November the Company was taken over by Hamburg
Amerikanische Paket Aktien Gesellschaft (Hapag). The Hapag used the name
of the DDG Kosmos on her liner service to the west coast of North and
South America till World War 2. The funnel marking of the Deutsch Austral & Kosmos
Linien was used on the yellow Hapag funnel albeit in a smaller form which
lasted till 1987. Many thanks to Henk Jungerius and Ted Finch for their assistance
in collecting this data. The following list was extracted from various
sources. This is not an all inclusive list but should only be used
as a guide. If you would like to know more about a vessel, visit the Ship
