The ship affiliation / Johan Heinrich Burchard / Limburgia 1914 The "Reliance" was a 19,618 gross ton ship (1), which was built in 1914 by J.C. Tecklenborg as "Johann Heinrich Burchard" for the Hamburg America Line. Her details were: length 590.4 feet; Beam 72.5 feet; three funnels, two masts, triple propeller and a speed of 17 knots. There was accommodation for 315 first class passengers, 301 second class passengers and 850 third class passengers. It had a crew of 480 men. She was launched on February 2, 1914 and provisionally delivered on November 20, 1915, but never sailed under her original name due to the First World War. On June 8, 1916, she was handed over to Royal Holland Lloyd as reparation for Dutch neutral ships sunk by the Germans and renamed "Limburgia". In 1918 the Allies condemned the handover of the ship and there was a long delay. On February 3, 1920, she left Bremerhaven for Amsterdam, still claiming, and then served on the South America route. Finally, in 1922, in agreement with Germany, she was transferred to the United American Line, New York, in order to resume passenger services between New York and Hamburg. It was converted to carry 290 first class passengers, 320 second class passengers and 400 third class passengers. It now weighed 19,582 gross tons and was renamed Reliance. On May 2, 1922, she began her first journey from Hamburg to Southampton to Cherbourg to New York and was carried over to the Panamanian flag in 1923. Her last voyage on this service began on June 25, 1926 and she was then taken over by Hamburg America Line. On August 24, 1926, she resumed the trips from Hamburg to Southampton to Cherbourg to New York for these owners and was converted in May 1930 to carry first, tourist and third class passengers. In June 1931 it was changed again to only promote first and tourist class, and on August 6, 1935, her last trip from Hamburg to New York began. Afterwards she was busy with cruises until she was modernized by Blohm & Voss in 1937, equipped with wider hoppers and equipped with 633 passengers of the first and 186 passengers of the second class. On August 7, 1938, it was destroyed by fire in Hamburg and sold and scrapped by Krupp in Bremerhaven in 1940.
