11478 VTCMixWeiss Serie 5328_3 Nordlandfahrt Kaiser Wilhelms II. mit Schnelldampfer Augusta Viktoria und SMY Hohenzollern II ~ 1900. Cikorienfabrikate J. G. Weiss Stettin Nordlandfahrt.
Zu wiederholten Malen besuchte Kaiser Wilhelm II. auch Norwegen, dessen großartige, aus Inseln u. Meer, Gebirge und Tal stolz und erhaben aufgebaute Natur und ein tatkräftiger, kerniger Menschenschlag ihn immer wieder zu sich ziehen. Durch diese Reisen, welche der Monarch an Bord seiner Yacht Hohenzollern“ unternimmt, hat derselbe Land u. Leute Norwegen’s sehr genau kennengelernt. Als rüstiger Fußgänger unternimmt unser Kaiser zuweilen auch Ausflüge in’s Gebirge und benutzt bei diesen Gelegenheiten ab und zu auch einmal den zu Lande gebräuchlichen, von den Bewohnern „Skjut“ genannten, mit zwei hohen, schmalen Rädern und niedrigem Sitz versehenen Wagen. Auch ausgedehnte Fahrten nach den Lofoten Inseln, dem Nordkap usw. werden unternommen Größe Freude verursacht immer die Begegnung mit anderen Schiffen, zumal wenn es solche deutscher Nationalität sind. Das umstehende Bild führt uns das Zusammentreffen der „Hohenzollern“ mit dem Schnelldampfer „Augusta Viktoria“ vor Augen.
----------------------
Die Hohenzollern diente von 1893 bis 1918 dem deutschen Kaiser Wilhelm II. als Staatsyacht für repräsentative Zwecke. Das Schiff gehörte zur Kaiserlichen Marine, die es als Aviso in der Liste der Kriegsschiffe führte. Als Begleitschiff diente ab 1900 das Depeschenboot Sleipner.
------------------------------------
Die Augusta Victoria war ein Schnelldampfer, der von 1888 bis 1889 das größte deutsche Passagierschiff war. Er fuhr für die Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG). Mit diesem Schiff veranstaltete die HAPAG die allererste Kreuzfahrt. Benannt wurde das Schiff nach der deutschen Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. Es gab ein Schwesterschiff, die Columbia, und die zwei etwas größeren Schwestern Normannia und Fürst Bismarck.
--------------------------------------------
Kaiser Wilhelm II also visited Norway on several occasions, whose magnificent nature, proudly and sublimely constructed of islands and sea, mountains and valleys, and whose energetic, robust people continually drew him back. Through these voyages, which the monarch undertook aboard his yacht, the Hohenzollern, he got to know the country and people of Norway very well. As a sprightly walker, our Emperor occasionally undertakes excursions into the mountains and on these occasions also uses the carriage commonly used on land, called a "Skjut" by the locals, which has two tall, narrow wheels and a low seat. Long trips to the Lofoten Islands, the North Cape, etc. are also undertaken. Encounters with other ships, especially those of German nationality, always bring great joy. The picture below shows the encounter between the "Hohenzollern" and the express steamer "Augusta Viktoria".
