GERMAN WONDER SHIP
STREET OF SHOPS ON THE BREMEN BELIEVED UNSINKABLE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9 a.m. BERLIN, Sunday. The novelties of the new North German Lloyd liner Europa, a sister ship to the Bremen, include a street of shops, and a catapulting seaplane to land mails 24 hours ahead of the ship. The Europa carries 1,100 passengers in first and second classes, and' 2,000 tourists and third-class passengers. Her maximum speed is 26 knots. There are 28 unsinkable motor-driven lifeboats, which swing out from the davits simultaneously by central electric control. The liner is double-bottomed and has 15 watertight compartments which are believed to make her unsinkable.
Hundreds of passages are already booked for her maiden trip on June 16.
