It soon developed into the largest German (and at times the world's largest) shipping company, serving the market created by the German immigration to the United States and later immigration from Eastern Europe. In 1970, after 123 years of independent existence, HAPAG merged with the Bremen-based North German Lloyd to form Hapag-Lloyd AG. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this transatlantic steam ocean liner was launched in 1914 and sailed for multiple companies and under multiple names, which included: William O'Swald, Brabantia, Resolute and Lombardia. She was converted into a troop ship for use in the Italian invasion of Abyssinia in 1935, and eventually sunk in 1943 during World War II (WWII). Condition: good. The poster was never folded. There is a large tear at left that has been repaired with brown paper tape from the back. It has some areas of rippling at center (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
