This steamship was built by Caird & Co. of Greenock, Scotland for Hamburg America Line. She weighed 3,158 gross tons, had a length of 340 feet and a beam of 40 feet, one funnel, two masts, and a single screw. Her service speed was 12 knots. There was accommodation for 90 first-class, 130 second-class, and 520 third-class (steerage) passengers. She had a crew of 120. Launched on 24 June 1868, she began her maiden voyage on 16 September 1868, sailing from Hamburg to Southampton and New York. She began her last voyage from Hamburg to Havre and New York on 28 April 1875 before being laid up in Hamburg. In 1877/78 she was rebuilt with two funnels and compound engines, as shown in the picture. On 30 July 1879, she resumed the Hamburg-Havre-New York service. During a storm on the night of 13 November 1882, she collided with the Belgian steamship Adrien David, which burst into flames and sank with the loss of all 25 crewmen, before the boat from the Westphalia could reach her. She began her last voyage to New York
