This is a beautifully detailed model made by the highly regarded maker Carlo Marquardt has been long out of production. Initially the Empress of Japan, during the WWII she was renamed the Empress of Scotland, then finally became the Hanseatic .Following her sale to Hamburg Atlantic Line in 1958, the ship was radically rebuilt to meet the expanding market for trans-Atlantic passenger service. The ship’s rear funnel was removed, her remaining funnels and superstructure were rebuilt and her passenger accommodations were re-configured. The vessel emerged as the 30,030 GRT TS Hanseatic. The renamed and re-flagged ship was designed to carry as many 1350 passengers in comfortable luxury on the Hamburg-New York route. On 8 September 1966, the ship caught fire at New York. The fire developed in the engine room and gutted five decks. On 28 September, the ship was towed to Hamburg, West Germany for inspection. Deemed beyond economic repair, she was scrapped shortly thereafter.
