BERLIN, April 27
Novelties in the new North German Lloyd liner Europa, a sister ship to the Bremen, include a street of shops, a catapulting seaplane to land mail 24 hours ahead of the ship. The Europa carries eleven hundred passengers first and second classes and two thousand tourists and third class. The maximum speed is twenty-six knots. There are twenty-eight unsmkable and motordriven lifeboats, which swing out from the davits simultaneously by electric control.
The liner is double-bottomed and has fifteen water-tight compartments, which it is believed make her unsinkable. Hundreds of passengers have already hooked for her maiden trip on 16th September.
