Shipwrecks & Lost Worlds - SS Potsdam: the liner turned whaling factory

When launched in Germany in 1899 for Holland America Line, the SS Potsdam was the largest vessel in the fleet. In 1915, she became the first of four liners named Stockholm for the Swedish American Line. Her purpose shifted dramatically in 1929 when Norwegian owners converted her into a whaling factory ship called Solglimt. Captured by a German auxiliary cruiser in 1941 and renamed Sonderburg, the ship was scuttled in 1944 before being raised and scrapped.
