Comment

The Kaiser Wilhelm II is a German transatlantic steam liner, completed in the spring of 1903 at the Stettin shipyard, then in Germany, but now in Poland. She served the Norddeutscher Lloyd company alongside her three sister-ships, and for a time held the Blue Ribbon. Her career was uneventful until the First World War. When the conflict broke out, the ship was on neutral ground in New York. She remained there until 1917, when the United States entered the war. She was then requisitioned and renamed Agammemnon.

During her service as a troop transport, she collided with the Von Steuben in a convoy, which was none other than her former twin Kronprinz Wilhelm, also requisitioned. In 1919, the ship was used to repatriate American soldiers, and was then preserved for possible re-use as a transport. In 1927, she was renamed Monticello, and for a time was considered for conversion into a cruise ship. However, the idea never came to fruition, and the ship remained inactive. She was finally demolished in 1940, after 21 years of immobility. (Source : www.wikipedia.org) Automatically translated

Le Kaiser Wilhelm II, est un paquebot transatlantique allemand à vapeur, achevé au printemps 1903 dans les chantiers navals de Stettin, à l'époque en Allemagne, mais aujourd'hui en Pologne. Il sert la compagnie Norddeutscher Lloyd aux côtés de ses trois sister-ships et détient un temps le Ruban bleu. Sa carrière ne connaît pas d'incident majeur jusqu'à la Première Guerre mondiale. Lorsque le conflit éclate, le navire se trouve à New York, en terrain neutre. Il y reste jusqu'en 1917, année de l'entrée en guerre des États-Unis. Il est alors réquisitionné et renommé Agammemnon.

Au cours de son service en tant que transport de troupes, il heurte au sein d'un convoi le Von Steuben, qui n'est autre que son ancien jumeau Kronprinz Wilhelm également réquisitionné. Le navire sert ensuite en 1919 à rapatrier les soldats américains, puis est conservé en vue d'une potentielle réutilisation comme transport. En 1927, il est renommé Monticello, et il est un temps envisagé de le reconvertir en navire de croisière. L'idée n'aboutit pas, cependant, et le navire reste inactif. Il est finalement démoli en 1940, après 21 années d'immobilité. (Source : www.wikipedia.org)
