In 1969 the German shipping company Deutsche Atlantik Linie introduced their final pasenger ship, the SS HAMBURG. She is still sailing as one of the last active steam turbine passenger cruise ships as the MAXIM GORKIY, but there are rumours about her future replacement by a newbuilding.
When built as the red funneled HAMBURG she had a most innovative funnel that was also used by several Hamburg Sud container ships and by a small Indian built passenger cargo liner obviously influenced by the German stricking design.
